Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment
In recent years, keratoconus and keratoectasia have become increasingly important ophthalmic diseases due to the increasing number of keratorefractive surgeries being performed, the subsequent rising number of complications, and the availability of new treatment modalities for keratoconus and keratoectasia other than corneal transplantation. For both the genetic form of the disease (keratoconus) and the acquired form (keratoectasia), new modalities of diagnosis and treatment have enabled physicians to manage and treat these diseases earlier and more effectively, which can delay or even prevent major surgeries.  Keratoconus and Keratoectasia: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment by Dr. Ming Wang, along with over 40 contributors, represents the first state-of-the-art, comprehensive synthesis of the current understanding of the etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of keratoconus and keratoectasia.  Diagnostic Modalities Include:Topographic diagnosis - placido disc and elevational mapping analysisPosterior corneal analysis, three-point touch method and FFKC criteria 2009Corneal pachymetry mapping and progression analysisStatistical analysis packages for KCNew imaging technologies for the cornea including OCTTopographic corneal irregularity analysis for premium IOLsMeasuring corneal strength - corneal hysteresisCorneal epithelial mapping with ultrasound biomicroscopyWavefront analysis in keratoconusInfrared light image screening - a new screening tool for keratoconusTreatments Include:Non-surgical treatment with contact lensesOcular surface treatmentLamellar and penetrating keratoplastyExcimer laser surface treatmentTopography-guided excimer laser treatmentWavefront-guided excimer laser treatmentIntacs intracorneal segmentUV-cross linkingCombination treatment of cross-linking, Intacs and excimer laser ablationFuture treatmentKeratoconus and Keratoectasia: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment is a concise, well-illustrated and clinically indispensable guide for treating these two important ophthalmic diseases and is a must-have for all ophthalmologists, optometrists, residents, fellows, and medical students.
