Hua Yan - Atlas of Ocular Trauma

Ocular trauma can be a serious threat to vision, especially if not medically intervened appropriately and in a timely fashion. Immediate and accurate diagnosis and effective treatment is the key to save the eyes and visual function, as well as a great challenge to ophthalmologists, especially emergency doctors. This book series is designed to help the doctors and clinical practitioners have a thorough understanding of ophthalmic emergencies and a mastery of every details of ocular trauma. To do the best, it is required that the ER doctors have solid theoretical knowledge about the anatomy of the eye and basic skills in ophthalmic operations. For that reason, Anatomy and examination of ocular trauma is believed to be necessary and fundamental for this book series. Beyond this, familiarity with the emergency room and efficient protocol will be helpful for the doctors to give treatment in the first time, and it will also be an important part of this book series. Almost all the aspects and details of ocular trauma will be covered in this book series, including mechanical and non-mechanical ocular trauma. Special topics of complicated situations, such as ciliary body impairment, will also be introduced in this book series. Hopefully the readers will enjoy it and find it helpful for them to provide better care to the patients and save vision.

I am really pleased to accept the offer and to take up the challenge of inviting all prior authors to edit all these chapters to address basic knowledge of ocular tauma and present ouclar trauma cases with abundant figures. A thorough accumulation of case presentations of ocular trauma is a prerequisite for proper analysis and intervention of ocular trauma in the clinic, which provide better interpretation of long-term outcomes of eye injuries. This book aims to provide the most thorough knowledge of ocular trauma related to mechanical injury and chemical or thermal injury to clinical practitioners, such as the medical students, residents, fellows, and ophthalmologists, to help them make the most appropriate decision on the management of patients who have suffered from such ocular conditions.

This book overall has been divided into two parts encompassing the basic knowledge of ocular trauma and the detailed case presentations based on the ocular anatomy, including conjunctival injury, corneal injury, iris and ciliary body injury, lens injury, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal and choroidal injury, eye lid injury, lacrimal apparatus injury, orbital injury, traumatic optic neuropathy, ocular perforating injury, rupture eye, ocular chemical burn, and ocular thermal and radiation burns. Part I demonstrates the epidemiology of ocular trauma and the classification and evaluation system of ocular trauma with its current status and how it works. In Part II, for each chapter, detailed clinical workup, clinical presentations and signs, and pictures or illustrative figures are provided. Additionally, the pearls section, which conclude the chapters, help emphasize the most definite point in each chapter. Hopefully, this book may help the clinical practitioners to be fully prepared for any challenge of ocular traumatic cases.
