The book provides highly informative text on techniques of detailed evaluation of the macula, covering the optical coherence tomography examination, microperimetry, the multifocal electroretinogram, the scanning laser, ophthalmoscope and Heidelberg retina angiography. This will be a most invaluable reference for retinologists. The book describes extensively treatment of macular diseases. Covers laser treatment for diabetic macular edema, the use of intravitreal triamcinolone in macular diseases, photodynamic therapy treatment, and use of transpupillary thermotherapy in cases of age-related macular degeneration with choroidal neovascularization. One of the highlights of the book is an exhaustively referenced description on surgery of the macula. The surgery for retinal vein occlusion presents an extensive review of radical optic neurotomy for central retinal vein occlusion and sheathotomy for branch retinal vein occlusion. This pragmatic book provides an understanding of the diagnosis and management of treatab e macular diseases. 1. Optical Coherence Tomography, 2. Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope-based Angiography, 3.
