<em>Presbyopia: Origins, Effects and Treatment</em> takes a complex and common condition—the ageing eye—and summarises the current views on the optics and physiology of accommodation and the age-dependant changes that lead to presbyopia.<br><br> Drs. Ioannis G. Pallikaris, Sotiris Plainis, and W. Neil Charman are joined by more than 50 world recognised contributors and present an up-to-date book that discusses demographics and visual impairment due to the uncorrected condition and provides an overview of clinical aspects of presbyopia, including refraction techniques and its management with contact lenses, spectacles and a range of surgical approaches. <br><br> Inside You’ll Find: <br> <p><ul> <li>Review of the accommodation system and its performance</li> <li>Effect of the passing years on accommodation, general optic characteristics, and neural performance</li> <li>Detailed reviews of various current and proposed methods for correcting presbyopia</li> <li>How assessment may be best carried out over years with a patient</li> </ul></p> <em>Presbyopia: Origins, Effects and Treatment</em> also features more than 200 colour images inside 35 chapters, a robust glossary of terms, and a comprehensive index for easy reference. <br><br> <em>Presbyopia: Origins, Effects and Treatment</em> is an interdisciplinary approach to various methods and theories for the most accommodating way to treat presbyopia and will be a welcome resource for ophthalmologists and optometrists.

Review:
The appeal and major strength of this text is its inter-disciplinary approach to understanding presbyopia, both in terms of its origin and its treatment. Together with the book being well written and easy to comprehend, this multi-disciplinary approach makes it of value to practitioners and researchers alike. Optometrists manage presbyopia on a daily basis. A thorough understanding of the presbyopic condition and its correction, now and into the future, are therefore of clinical value and will certainly be achieved by reading this text. - Laura Downie, "The" "University of Melbourne, Clinical and Experimental Optometry""
Anyone who wants to understand where the field of presbyopia is heading will benefit from the book It sets the stage for the anticipated advances in the coming decade. Any clinician or student wanting to become more familiar with current and future possibilities and the science underlying the emerging technologies should look no further than this excellent volume.

"All in all, this is a very comprehensive review of the current knowledge about presbyopia and its treatment...it is well worth the read." - Robert B. Greer, Optometry and Vision Science

<strong> Ioannis G. Pallikaris</strong> is a Greek ophthalmologist who in 1989 performed the first LASIK procedure on a human eye. Pallikaris also developed Epi-LASIK. Professor Palikaris was the rector of the University of Crete between 2003 and 2011. He is also the founder and director of the Institute of Vision and Optics in the same university. The institute focuses on providing high-quality specialised health services, such as refractive surgery, photodynamic therapy and the evaluation of vision operation through specialised diagnostic techniques.|<strong>Sotiris Plainis </strong>completed an MSc (in 1994) and a PhD (in 1999) studies at the Department of Optometry & Vision Sciences, UMIST, UK. Since 2002 he has been working as a Research Fellow at the Institute of Vision and Optics (IVO), School of Health Sciences, University of Crete.|Following doctoral and postdoctoral work on visual microscopy at Imperial College, London, <strong>Neil Charman</strong> moved first to Canada where he worked on photographic systems and then 2 years later returned to UK and Harwell where he spent 6 years pursuing a wide range of high-energy astrophysical studies. In 1970, he moved to Manchester, and UMIST, where he has happily resided ever since.
