Vitreous: In Health and Disease presents a comprehensive overview of the biochemical composition, molecular organization, morphologic structure, physiology and metabolism of the vitreous body of the eye. The pathobiology of vitreous and vitreoretinal disorders is discussed within the context of derangements of normal biology and of a shared basic pathobiology. With emphasis on therapeutics, this book highlights not only the advances in vitreo-retinal surgery of today with text and video recordings of surgery, but also the non-surgical approaches of the future, namely pharmacologic vitreolysis. Vitreous: In Health and Disease examines such developmental and inherited disorders as dominant exudative vitreoretinopathy and Wagner's disease, connective tissue disorders, including Marfan's syndrome and Stickler syndrome, cellular invasion through trauma, inflammation, and neoplasia and the effects of surgical intervention through vitrectomy, photocoagulation, cryopexy and intravitreal injections. Clinicians will be able to use this text as a basic science reference manual and researchers will obtain a better understanding of the problems that confront clinicians, which should help them direct their research to the areas relevant to clinical problems that need development.
