Chapters on outpatient and medical therapies cover laser treatment, intravitreal triamcinolone, and use of photodynamic therapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs, and antioxidants for age-related macular degeneration. Internationally acclaimed experts describe surgeries for epiretinal membrane, vitreomacular traction syndrome, idiopathic macular hole, choroidal neovascularization, diabetic macular edema, myopic foveoschisis, and retinal vein occlusion.
