Clinical Anatomy and Physiology of the Visual System

Providing the ocular anatomy and physiology content needed for a  thorough comprehension of this complex field, Clinical Anatomy and  Physiology of the Visual System, 4th Edition, offers a solid foundation  for recognizing and understanding specific clinical situations and how  they relate to anatomic structure. This concise, well-referenced  resource covers the clinical anatomy of the eye, its adnexa and visual  pathways, and histologic information―the information you need for  success in coursework, certification exams, and clinical practice.

• Features  vivid, full-color illustrations that help you visualize the clinical  anatomy of the eye along with the cellular physiology behind diseases  and disorders of the visual system. 
• Emphasizes  clinical application throughout, helping you better understand the  processes that occur in disease and dysfunction. Clinical Comment  sections offer a unique focus on clinical situations, conditions,  diseases, and treatments. 
• Contains  new OCT, OCTA, MRI, and CT images that demonstrate clinical views of  ocular anatomy. OCT technology is incorporated to describe the retinal  layers, newly described anatomical components of the vitreous, corneal  and anterior chamber angle anatomy, and the choroidal and retinal  vasculature. 
• Covers  current topics such as genes essential in eye development, scleral and  choroidal changes occurring with myopia progression, limbal stem cells,  age-related macular degeneration and VEGF therapies, and microinvasive  glaucoma surgical procedures. 
• Includes  updated concepts and terminology: Edinger Westfall preganglionic cells,  sensory innervation to the cornea, knees of Wilbrand, intrinsically  photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, and more. 
• Provides  expert coverage by a practicing optometrist, giving you a practical  framework for recognizing and understanding clinical situations,  problems, and treatments.
