This book offers a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting the cornea and sclera. It begins with an overview of corneal topography and then compares LASIK and SMILE procedures for refractive surgery, detailing their potential complications. The text further explores numerous disorders, including common and less common infections like fungal keratitis and acanthamoeba keratitis, as well as corneal dystrophies with their latest classifications and management strategies. Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) and corneal changes associated with contact lens wear are also discussed.

As part of the 'Gems of Ophthalmology' series, this volume is positioned as a key resource for practitioners and students in the field. The content focuses on providing up-to-date information on diagnosis and management, suggesting a practical and clinical orientation. The inclusion of detailed discussions on both common and rare conditions, alongside surgical techniques like DALK and refractive surgery comparisons, indicates a comprehensive approach aimed at addressing a wide range of ophthalmological challenges related to the cornea and sclera. The series' other topics, such as Diseases of the Uvea, Glaucoma, and Retina, further establish its scope within specialized ophthalmic care.
