This new fifth edition of Ocular Pathology maintains its reputation as an essential reference for understanding, diagnosing, and treating diseases of the eye. Offering comprehensive information on the latest clinical findings, it is unique in its full-color atlas presentation of pathology specimens reflecting the most current topics in the field. It remains an excellent reference for residents, board candidates, practicing ophthalmologists, cataract and refractive surgeons, and all individuals interested in vision care and visual sciences. Assists the reader in understanding the nature, causes and development of abnormal conditions in the eye. Updated self-assessment questions test overall understanding of the field and prepare for the Board Examination. Book is well-positioned for all levels of Eye Health Care Providers Over 240 color photographs and 930 black-and-white illustrations clearly depict hundreds of clinical entities and pathology specimens (external and slit-lamp photographs, fundus photographs, retinal angiograms, anatomic, histologic and electromicroscopic photos of all eye tissues and their diseases, along with numerous sketches and schematic illustrations of tissues).
<li>Increased number of Questions and Answers, from 35 to 50 per chapter, for a total of 550.</li>Update on diagnosis and therapy of retinal diseases, including AIDS, and new material on indocyain green angiography.<li>Updated sections on pathology of lens, cataract surgery, and intraocular lenses. This material has been updated to include modern small incision surgery and foldable lens technology, which has greatly expanded since 1989 and is now the preferred cataract surgical procedure of most ophthalmologists. This book continues to be the only text available which covers the pathology of cataract surgery and intraocular lenses.</li>A new chapter has been added which represents the first comprehensive publication on clinicopathological correlation of refractive surgery, including incisional refractive surgery (RK), refractive surgery with lasers (PRK and LASIK), and refractive intraocular lenses. The information is based on the extensive experience of Dr. Apple's laboratory at the Storm Eye Institute in Charleston. The material and illustrations in this chapter have never been published elsewhere.<li>There has been extensive update of references of all topics in the book.</li>

Concurrent with the 50th anniversary of Harold Ridley's invention of the intraocular lens, Dr. David Apple and his colleagues have authored this unique book, which provides a comprehensive view of the foldable IOLs available today and the surgical techniques required for their implantation. This book will help ophthalmologists evaluate and select lenses for implantation by giving a detailed assessment and comparison of the various lenses and their clinicopathologic correlations. Important steps in surgical techniques are highlighted to help minimize complications and enhance surgical results. Over 400 full-color photographs are included to provide the reader with the most current information needed to understand the foldable IOLs on the market. Topics include: IOL evolution, a detailed systematic evaluation of available foldable IOL designs and a clinicopathologic correlation of foldable IOL complications. The teaching and research materials are based largely on the authors, photographic and statistical analysis of their collection of postmortem eyes containing IOLs, which is the largest such collection in the world. Special Features Over 400 photos drawn from Dr. Apple's vast archives, mostly unseen until now. An unbiased approach and comparison of available foldable IOLs allows the reader to make an informed decision for the choice of implant. Common challenges faced by ophthalmologists dealing with foldable IOLs, including the development of posterior capsule opacification.

Did you know that the most common surgical eye procedure today began as a tragic injury to a WWII pilot? Did you know that one of the first medical devices to ever be implanted into a human was performed by an ophthalmologist? Do you know the riveting story behind the man who envisioned and achieved ground-breaking medical advancements for vision care? ______________________________________________________________________________ An innovator in eye surgery and undisputed inventor of the intraocular lens (IOL), Sir Harold Ridley achieved some of the most important discoveries in ophthalmology and medicine over the last 100 years. The compelling story of Sir Harold Ridley is one not widely known among today’s medical community. It is a story of an unassuming medical leader. It is a story that needs to be told, not only for its historical value, but also to provide guidance for future generations on bringing new inventions to the world. In the early 1980’s, Dr. David J. Apple, one of the most prominent American ophthalmologists and eye researchers conducted studies that by the mid-1980’s had verified that Ridley’s innovation—the implantation of the IOL—was potentially safe and effective. Upon hearing of these studies, Ridley requested to meet Dr. Apple at Ridley’s home in England, where a life-long personal and professional relationship was born. Inside Sir Harold Ridley and His Fight for Sight: He Changed the World So That We May Better See It, Dr. David J. Apple chronicles the amazing career and life of Sir Harold Ridley based on their friendship and on never before published documents, photographs, and memorabilia. Ridley’s tremendous impact on ophthalmology and specifically on the treatment of cataract patients, is a story that until now has not been told. Sir Harold Ridley and His Fight for Sight is based on 26 years of research performed by Dr. Apple. Interviews with friends, families, colleagues, as well as the review of medical and hospital records, military records, and museum exhibits have brought the story of Sir Harold Ridley to forefront of the medical community today. Dr. Apple brings life and credibility to the pages of Sir Harold Ridley and His Fight for Sight with over 600 images, testimonials from Sir Harold Ridley on his quest that began in 1935, and a personal touch that only a true colleague and friend can convey. From Harold Ridley, 1989: “I had twenty-five years in the wilderness and would have been spared much suffering if David Apple, the one who at last took the trouble to read and analyze all the early implant papers, had appeared in the 1950’s, for a whole generation of cataract patients might then have enjoyed full visual rehabilitation instead of suffering the abnormalities of aphakia.” In 1940 during World War II, in the legendary Battle of Britain, a British pilot was tragically blinded when shattered fragments of his cockpit canopy were embedded in his eyes. This tragic event led to the identification of an implant material and eventuated in Ridley’s accomplishing a complete cure for cataracts. Ridley focused the next decade of his life on the development of an artificial lens to be implanted following the removal of a cataract. This device has restored vision to nearly 200 million people worldwide, and presently 9 million annually. After performing the first IOL implant on a cataract patient, Sir Harold Ridley was met with opposition from the medical community. It took three decades of struggle until his goal became reality. Now the cataract surgery, and its cousin, refractive surgery, including the procedure LASIK, are the most common surgical procedures performed today. Paving the way for past, current and future ophthalmologists, Sir Harold Ridley not only implanted the first medical device into a patient—he pioneered multiple once in a lifetime discoveries including innovations on river blindness, techniques for optic nerve and retina diagnosis, introduction of television and other electronic techniques to ophthalmology, as well as establishing a branch of biomedical engineering focusing on the science of artificial implants. Sir Harold Ridley and His Fight for Sight is the story of a brilliant man and his lifelong struggle to gain acceptance for his invention from his peers. He finally achieved this late in life and the intraocular lens is now recognized as one of the most important medical advances of the 20th century.
