Synopsis

Advances in Age-Related Macular Degeneration provides ophthalmologists and eye researchers an integrated approach to age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in aged people. In this book, international leading experts summarize the most recent findings of new imaging devices’ studies in AMD and highlight potential benefits and adaptations of new technologies. The book begins with the two core components essential for proper interpretation of imaging studies: relevant histologic features in AMD and basic principles of different imaging technologies. Sections then relate imaging features from the clinic with histological findings and showcase up-to-date information on retina in AMD and normal aging.The book also includes the basic science behind AMD, exploring genetics, animal models and hot topics such as OCTA imaging and the application of artificial intelligence in AMD. The integrated and translational approach of this book makes this an essential reference for researchers and clinicians in the field.

• Provides comprehensive coverage on a range of hot topics within AMD, including animal models, new imaging devices such as OCT and OCTA, early/intermediate AMD, and AI in AMD and more, thus giving readers a thorough understanding of the most common cause of blindness
• Relates imaging features from the clinic with histological findings, allowing readers to easily understand and interpret findings
• Adopts an integrated and translational approach that is suitable for researchers, clinicians, residents and students who are interested in AMD and retinal diseases
• Edited and written by leading and international experts, the book focuses on the most recent and novel findings in the past five years

About this title

About the Authors

Giuseppe Querques, MD, PhD, is an Associate Professor at University Vita-Salute, IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele, Milan, Italy. His main research and clinical are Medical Retina and ophthalmic surgery (retina and cataract).
Professor Querques has contributed to more than 300 peer-reviewed articles published mainly in the areas of Medical Retina (age-related macular degeneration, retinal vascular diseases, hereditary retinal diseases, ophthalmic genetics). His current main area of both clinical and laboratory research is focusing on the diagnosis (imaging) and treatment of age-related macular degeneration, retinal vascular diseases, and hereditary retinal diseases. Professor Querques is a member of the Italian Society of Ophthalmology (SOI), the French Society of Ophthalmology (SFO), the European Association of Retinal Specialists (EURETINA), the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), the Retina Society, the Club Jules Gonin, and the Macula Society. Doctor Querques serves as Editor in Chief of Ophthalmology @ Point Of Care, and as Editorial Board Member of Ophthalmologica, Ophthalmology and Therapy, and Retinal Cases & Brief Reports.

Enrico Borrelli, MD, graduated from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University (Milan, Italy) in 2013. He completed his residency in ophthalmology at Gabriele D’Annunzio University (Chieti, Italy) and his clinical research fellowship in medical retina and retinal imaging at Doheny Eye Institute, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA (Los Angeles, CA, USA). Currently, he works as retina specialist at San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy). His research interests include image analysis and ocular imaging (retinal and choroidal disorders), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), pachychoroid disease, and diabetic retinopathy. He has performed pioneering work in opening the field of color autofluorescence and in employing OCT angiography to detect changes in the choriocapillaris in AMD subjects.
He has authored or co-authored over 160 articles in peer reviewed international journals. He has given a number of invited lectures at meetings. He is recipient of a number of prizes and he is on the board of medical societies (national and specialized), as well as a consultant to numerous pharmaceutical companies.

Riccardo Sacconi, MD, FEBO, received his medical degree from the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan (Italy) in 2012. He completed his residency in Ophthalmology at University of Verona (Italy), and a clinical research fellowship in medical retina and retinal imaging at the department of Ophthalmology of San Raffaele Hospital, Milan (Italy). Currently, he works as retina specialist at San Raffaele Hospital and he is completing his PhD program at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University. His main research interests include the ophthalmic imaging and management of retinal diseases, contributing to more than 130 peer-reviewed articles. He is editorial assistant of European Journal of Ophthalmology and Ophthalmology @ Point Of Care.

From the Back Cover

Advances in Age-Related Macular Degeneration provides ophthalmologists and eye researchers an integrated approach to age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in aged people. In this book, international leading experts summarizes the most recent findings of new imaging devices’ studies in AMD and highlights the potential benefit and future adaptation of new technologies and treatment in patients with AMD. To place the imaging observations in proper context, the book begins with the two core components essential for proper interpretation of imaging studies: relevant histologic features in AMD and basic principles of different imaging technologies. With this introduction, the book builds up to relate imaging features from the clinic with histological findings, and showcases the up-to-date information about the rapidly changing imaging findings in the retina in AMD and normal aging. The book also includes the basic science behind AMD, exploring the genetics and animal models of AMD, and include hot topics such as OCTA imaging and the application of artificial intelligence in AMD. The integrated and translational approach of this book makes this an essential reference for researchers and clinicians in the field.
