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.
