Blindness or serious vision impairment is one of the most feared
disabilities known to humankind. A 2016 report compiled by the
National Eye Institute (NEI) of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) and Prevent Blindness America states that although half of all
blindness can be prevented, the number of people who suffer vision
loss continues to increase. The technique of dynamic light
scattering (DLS) was developed by physicists in the late 1960s to
early 1970s. DLS is now emerging as a potential ophthalmic tool,
making possible studies of virtually every tissue and fluid comprising
the eye, thus pushing the envelope for broader applications in
ophthalmology. This book presents a comprehensive review of the
application of light scattering in clinical use. It is the first of
its kind, offering insight to how DLS can be applied to the human eye
as well as animals. Chapters discuss DLS in neurological diseases,
including protocols, informed consent, andpatents. Dynamic Light
Scattering Spectroscopy of the Human Eye is a must-have resource
for physicians, engineers, and physicists interested in the clinical
application of DLS to diagnose and potentially treat medical
conditions in a non-invasive, quantitative and novel way.
