Ophthalmology. Basic concepts - Vasile Potop, Christiana Dragosloveanu

Ophthalmology is a field of medicine with an expanding complexity and broad and diverse related relationships.
Ophthalmology today benefits from the latest results of biotechnology, which provide products capable of improving the pathology of ocular tissues in the case of age-related retinal diseases and highly efficient investigation methods; confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography.

Latest generation laser technologies are today used in ophthalmology for modeling the geometry of the cornea and correcting refractive errors. Excimer lasers with emission in the ultraviolet spectrum and femto lasers that emit in time fragments of 10-15 seconds, are nothing but special forms of light capable of improving the organ that perceives light.

Today ophthalmology is not only a medical specialty, it has become a complex reality that unites human hopes and efforts, moves economies with research budgets and medical practice of the order of trillions worldwide. This is ophthalmology today.

In this vast reality you may wonder what use a manual containing elementary data on anatomy, physiology and ocular pathology can be. It may seem little, when we look at the whole of ophthalmology, but it is essential.

Any building needs a resistance structure based on a foundation that is permanently stable. With all the advances in ophthalmology, its fundamental data will remain the same.

This manual can be useful in acquiring fundamental ophthalmology data that is necessary and useful in any field of medical practice.

No matter how complex and precise the diagnostic or treatment methods are, behind them there will always have to be a human mind that will have to decide by knowing in depth the structures and functions that underlie vision and that moves things forward through its curiosity and involvement.
