Summary As the number of patients with macular diseases continues to increase, new diagnostic and therapeutic tools are simultaneously being introduced. This book presents new clinical approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of macular diseases. Internationally recognized surgeons present their latest results regarding their experiences in the macular area. Macular hole surgery is discussed in detail, as well as different therapeutic approaches for age related macular degeneration. A description on the latest advances in laser scanning ophthalmoscopy and in multi-focal ERG is also included. Other papers examine complications in the removal of the posterior vitreous cortex, the use of intraocular implants for drug delivery, and a review of current experimental therapies for AMD. This book will appeal to retinologists, ophthalmologists, and in particular retinal surgeons, with an interest in future developments in this field
