Optical Devices in Ophthalmology and Optometry

Medical technology is a fast growing field. Optical Devices in Ophthalmology and Optometry gives a comprehensive review of modern optical technologies in ophthalmology and optometry alongside their clinical deployment. It bridges the technology and clinical domains and will be suitable in both technical and clinical environments. The book introduces and develops basic physical methods (in optics, photonics, and metrology) and their applications in the design of optical systems for use in ophthalmic medical technology. Medical applications described in detail demonstrate the advantage of utilizing optical-photonic methods. Exercises and solutions for each chapter help understand and apply basic principles and methods.

Dr. Michael Kaschke was CEO and is now Chairman of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, a 700 Mio. Euro mid cap listed on the FSE based in Jena, Germany. He has also been a member of the Executive Board of Carl Zeiss AG since 2000. He joined Carl Zeiss in 1992 and has held since then several research and management positions. Michael Kaschke studied physics and received his PhD from University of Jena in 1986. Before joining Carl Zeiss, he did research at various institutes in Germany and at IBM Research Center, Yorktown Heights, N.Y, USA. He is also a professor at University of Karlsruhe, Germany.

Karl H. Donnerhacke is a consultant in the field of ophthalmic devices and adjunct professor at the Technical University Ilmenau, Germany and the University of Applied Sciences Jena, Germany. Having obtained his academic degrees (PhD in physics at the University of Jena) he spent over 25 years of his career working in laser development and laser application in medicine at the University of Jena and at Carl Zeiss. Until his retirement he had been the Director R&D in the Ophthalmic Instruments Division for more than 15 years and Head of the Advanced Development Division of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG.
