Product Description:
Explore the realm of vision science and eye disorders with our comprehensive guide, “Basic Visual Mechanisms and Related Clinical Abnormalities”. This informative book, penned by respected neuroscientist John Dowling and expert ophthalmologist Joseph Dowling, offers a unique dual-perspective on vision health.
Over the past half-century, we’ve witnessed significant advancements in understanding vision mechanisms and treating vision disorders. However, there’s often a knowledge gap between scientific discoveries and clinical applications. Our book bridges this gap, providing easy-to-understand explanations of complex vision science concepts and the latest clinical advances in eye care.
Our guide offers:
– A detailed account of photoreceptors, followed by an overview of eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration.
– An in-depth explanation of retina function, followed by descriptions of conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
– An exploration of the cornea and lens, highlighting how conditions like cataracts and corneal disease can affect vision.
– A comprehensive look at how photoreceptors capture light.
– A discussion on retinal and visual cortical anatomy and physiology, and the role they play in perception.
Explore higher-level visual processing conditions like amblyopia and specific recognition deficits, including face, color, or motion perception disorders.
Finally, our book concludes with a historical overview of vision science evolution and a speculative look at potential future advancements in the field.
If you’re a healthcare professional, a vision science student, or just someone interested in eye health, this book is an invaluable resource. It offers a deep dive into the fascinating world of vision, explaining complex concepts in plain, accessible language, and keeping you updated on the latest clinical advances in
