Ophthalmology is a medical specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating eye disorders. Common eye disorders include refractive errors, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, amblyopia and strabismus. Red eyes, night blindness, headache, light sensitivity, floaters, flashes, dry eyes, excessive tearing, blurred or distorted vision, and swelling are the common symptoms of eye disorders. A range of tests can be performed to confirm an eye condition or establish the extent or severity of an eye disorder. Angiography, electroretinography, ultrasonography, pachymetry, optical coherence tomography (OCT), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are a few such tests. There are a variety of treatment options available for treating eye disorders depending upon the type of disorder and its extent. Conventional surgery, medicines, laser surgery, and artificial tears are some of the available treatment options. In the past few years, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has become quite popular for screening, diagnosing, and treating eye diseases. This book unfolds the recent developments in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. Medical professionals and students actively engaged in the field of ophthalmology will find it full of crucial and unexplored concepts.

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that studies eye physiology, eye disorders and different types of treatments for these disorders. Techniques used within this field can help diagnose a wide range of eye diseases and ailments. Some of the major diseases studied within this area of medicine are cataract, thyroid eye disease, dry eye syndrome, refractive errors and macular degeneration. There are numerous subspecialties within ophthalmology such as neuro-ophthalmology, refractive surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery and ocular oncology. Neuro-ophthalmology focuses on the eye issues related to the nervous system. Refractive surgery focuses on reducing the dependency on contact lenses and prescription glasses by improving the refractive state of the eye. This book consists of contributions made by international experts and aims to shed light on some of the current practices in opthalmology. It presents some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to this field. This book will serve as a resource guide for experts as well as students.

Ophthalmology is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. It is also involved in the study of the anatomy and physiology of the eye. Cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration are the four most prevalent eye disorders that can cause vision loss or blindness. Ophthalmology encompasses the usage of both surgical procedures and pharmaceutical interventions. It also makes use of artificial intelligence. Approved AI-based devices can be used to detect disorders by analyzing images of the eye taken with a retinal camera and utilizing a system to analyze whether the patient has any abnormalities and whether therapy is required. This book unfolds some of the vital pieces of work being conducted worldwide on various topics related to ophthalmology. Such selected concepts that redefine the research in this field have been presented herein. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the developments taking place in ophthalmology.
