Second Edition
Description
In the second edition of Atlas of Ocular Blood Flow, Dr. Alon Harris details the vascular anatomy and physiology of the eye, analyzes
the eye?s blood supply, and evaluates the latest technologies available for assessing patients. He shows you how irregular ocular blood
flow patterns can indicate systemic or medication-related conditions, and presents images and actual case reports to illustrate the use
of new technologies such as OCT with Doppler application and non-invasive retinal oximetry. With more than 400 illustrations, most in
full color, this is the only atlas worldwide that gives you pictorial presentations, anatomical illustrations, and detailed descriptions
of the methods available to measure blood flow.
Audience
Ophthalmology practitioners, residents and Optometrists.
