This book serves as an introductory reference on clinical aspects of glaucoma and myopia, providing essential guidelines for diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma progression in patients, especially those with high myopias. Many clinical studies are presented by leading experts in the field in an accessible style, making the content suitable not only for ophthalmologists but also for optometrists and certified orthoptists as well as for students. The relation between myopia and glaucoma has been the subject of many clinical trials and population-based studies. Most of the data has suggested that moderate to high myopia is associated with increased risk of primary open-angle glaucoma, normal tension glaucoma, and ocular hypertension. There are several factors involved in the diagnosis of glaucoma, but it is often difficult to determine the presence of glaucoma in myopic eyes. A myopic eye, especially in cases of moderate to high myopia, tends to have a thin retina and choroid and to appear thinner than normal. Even with new imaging technologies with improved sensitivity and specificity for detecting glaucoma, each technology presents some challenges when assessing myopic eyes. This book furnishes an overview of these diagnostic challenges with reference to the growing prevalence and severity of myopia in various parts of the world, providing many valuable hands-on reports and clinical studies by authoritative authors. This knowledge will help to do away with the vague area between high myopia and glaucoma faced by clinicians.

Pathological Myopia is a major cause of severe vision loss worldwide. The mechanisms for vision loss include cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and above all, degeneration of the macula within the posterior staphyloma. Pathological Myopia is one of the only current books to specifically address this disease and discusses recent developments in imaging technologies and various approaches to treatments, such as laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, pharmaco-therapeutic injections in the vitreous, and surgery. Complete with high-quality color images, this book is written and edited by leaders in the field and is geared towards ophthalmologists, including residents and fellows in training, glaucoma and cataract specialists, and vitreoretinal macula experts.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter viii. etiology--(Continued), Refraction and Glaucoma. There is no doubt that the idea that hypermetropia predisposes to glaucoma has been fairly general in the profession, and with reason, for that has been frequently asserted by excellent authorities. For instance, Fuchs (1) says: "A disposition to inflammatory glaucoma appears to be present before all in the hypermetropic eye, whereas markedly short-sighted eyes are said to be little prone to the disease," which has been explained (2) as due to the fact that myopic eyes have deeper anterior chambers than emmetropic, and still deeper than hypermetropic eyes, while they have smaller ciliary muscles than either, and especially than hypermetropic, in which the association of a shallow anterior chamber and a large ciliary muscle, liable when swollen to press the iris against the cornea, is perilous to the health of the eye in certain circumstances. Stedman Bull (3) found in his cases of chronic glaucoma that hypermetropia was ten times more common than myopia. On the other hand, we must remember that hypermetropia is probably the commonest refractive state in most countries, and especially so in advanced age, as well as in childhood. Priestley Smith (4), whose cases, however, were not all chronic as Bull's were, found in 164 eyes hypermetropia in 45.1 per' cent., emmetropia in 40.9 per cent., and myopia in 14.0 per cent.; and Kryonkoff (5) found hypermetropia in about the same proportion in cases of primary glaucoma, 43.18 per cent., emmetropia in 28 per cent. and myopia in 28.78 per cent.; while in more than 10,000 consecutive ophthalmic cases tested in regard to refraction he found nearly the same figures, hypermetropia 43.09 per cent., emmetropia 27.58 per cent., and myopia 29.32...

The incidence of myopia continues its rapid rise worldwide, and although the mechanism has not been fully clarified, there has been a significant increase in knowledge of the condition in recent years. Important questions about myopia are being posed by researchers across a broad spectrum of disciplinesfrom psychology to molecular biology, from corneal surgery to retinal physiology, and from genetics to experimental optics. The Seventh International Conference on Myopia, held in Taipei in November 1998, provided a forum for researchers and practitioners to make presentations and participate in discussions of their latest findings. Many doctors from Asian countries, where the incidence of myopia is particularly high, reported the results of their work. Myopia Updates II presents the latest information on epidemiology, risk factors, complications, experimentation, and treatment, and is a valuable resource for all who are interested in myopia and ocular growth.
