Summary:
In this program, direct access to the eye coupled with technological wizardry has meant that ophthalmology is one of the most rapidly advancing areas of medicine. Techniques and experimental procedures, such as photodynamic therapy, which inhibits macular degeneration by eroding deposits called drusen, are profiled. The program shows how microsurgery, particular the LASIK method, has revolutionized the field. Also detailed are pioneering treatments for cataracts, retinitis pigmentosa, and new methods to detect and treat glaucoma.
