      La DMLA exsudative Cet atlas a pour vocation de donner tous les outils thérapeutiques disponibles actuellement pour que l’ophtalmologiste puisse offrir le maximum de chances à son patient de conserver une meilleure acuité visuelle et une qualité de vie satisfaisante malgré la DMLA. Les traitements de la DMLA exsudative ont beaucoup progressé au cours de ces dernières années grâce aux avancées de l’imagerie du fond de l’œil et à la création de molécules plus efficaces dont l’action est très nettement améliorée par le mode d’injection intravitréenne. Fruit de l’expérience clinique d’une équipe d’auteurs référente au CHI de Créteil, à la Fondation Rothschild et dans plusieurs centres DMLA en France, l’ouvrage expose des stratégies sur mesure, adaptées en tenant compte des diverses approches thérapeutiques, validées par les études cliniques, contrôlées et randomisées. Chaque chapitre se construit autour d’un exposé contradictoire et commenté par des avis d’expert sur le diagnostic et la surveillance, des études et protocoles, de leurs applications en pratique clinique courante puis de l’exposé de cas cliniques richement illustrés et commentés sur toute la durée du traitement. Les perspectives thérapeutiques sont également abordées. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aussi bien aux praticiens hospitaliers que libéraux qui souhaitent parfaire leurs connaissances sur les dernières avancées concernant la DMLA exsudative. Florence Coscas est ophtalmologiste, praticien hospitalier au CHI de Créteil ainsi qu’au Centre Ophtalmologique de l’Odéon à Paris.
