Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine in Ophthalmology, Second Edition, focuses on an aging population and the increasing instances of eye diseases. Biomaterials continue to be used for numerous medical devices for the restoration of eyesight, improving many patients? quality of life. Consequently, biomaterials and regenerative medicine are becoming increasingly important to the advances of ophthalmology and optometry. This book provides readers with an updated and expanded look at the present status and future direction of biomaterials and regenerative medicine in this important field.

Part 1 Materials, properties and considerations

Part 2 Biomaterials for the repair and regeneration of the intraocular lens

Part 3 Biomaterials for the repair and regeneration of the cornea

Part 4 Biomaterials for the repair and regeneration of the ocular surface

Part 5 Biomaterials for the repair and regeneration of the retina

Part 6 Other implants for repair and regeneration in ophthalmology

Researchers of ophthalmic biomaterials, devices and regenerative medicine in both academia and industry and researchers in this area, such as chemists and clinicians working in the ophthalmic field

Professor Traian Chirila is a senior scientist at the Queensland Eye Institute, Australia. Professor Chirila has over thirty years experience in polymer science and biomaterials and is highly respected for his ongoing contribution to the field of ophthalmology.
