This book is a comprehensive treatise on infective and inflammatory pathologies of the cornea with corresponding clinical images and diagrammatic illustrations. Corneal infections and inflammations are a major cause of ocular morbidity and visual impairment. Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to improved visual outcome and quality of life. Both infectious (bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoan) and non-infectious keratitis that cause corneal vascularisation, scarring and vision loss are covered extensively. The illustrated clinical findings presented in the form of diagrams, photographs, cases and videos aim to serve as a practical teaching tool for fellows, trainees and practising ophthalmologists.
KEY FEATURES
- Focuses on clinically relevant parts of corneal diseases, using illustrations with arrows indicating different pathologies and signs
- Serves as a ready clinical compendium for trainees, fellows and ophthalmologists
- Explores various corneal pathologies through a wealth of accompanying illustrations and teaching videos
