Times review
The
integrity of the vitreous body as a separate compartment in the eye
is important for the normal function of the lens and retina. The
present volume explores the mechanisms which induce vitreous damage
and isolates and analyzes the resulting pathological changes which
undermine the functioning of the eye. Given that cataract surgery is
one of the most important causes of vitreous decompartmentalization,
particular attention is paid to strategies for limiting vitreous
damage induced by cataract surgery and the treatment of secondary
cataracts.
A unique feature of
the volume is the inclusion of 80 pairs of stereo slides, with
viewer, selected from Dr. Worst's vast private collection.The
stereoscopic view these guarantee is essential to a sound
interpretation of the vitreous structure.
J.G.F. Worst
pioneered much of what
is now accepted as basic to our understanding
of the vitreous. His insights form the basis of the present text,
compiled, systematized and written by L.I. Los and generously
illustrated. This monograph will prove invaluable to
ophthalmologists confronted with diseases of the lens, the retina
and the vitreous, to ophthalmologists in training, to
cataract and vitreoretinal surgeons and to researchers studying vitreoretinal and
vitreolenticular relationships.
