Publisher's Synopsis
The eyes are complex organs, with many parts that must work together to produce clear vision."Oh, something is wrong with my eye!" We have all said this at some time. How uncomfortable it can be! Fortunately, many common eye disorders disappear without treatment or can be managed by self-treating. An ophthalmologist is a medical or osteopathic doctor who specializes in eye and vision care. An ophthalmologist to take care of more complex or specific conditions in certain areas of the eye or in certain groups of patients. Meanwhile, Tele-ophthalmology has been employed mainly for patients in under-served rural areas in need of specialty care, but other applications such as telementoring have also been used. In certain populations, cost containment is a significant issue and telemedicine is a solution. Tele-ophthalmology shows great promise for improving patient care and increasing access to specialty care not available in under-served areas. This book which is arranged in nine chapters goes through ophthalmology basics and Tele-ophthalmology concepts. In addition, several eye diseases are discussed in details so that it makes this book a good reference for University students and teachers.
