Ocular Rigidity, Biomechanics and Hydrodynamics of the Eye
暫譯: 眼球剛性、眼睛的生物力學與流體力學

本書專注於眼球剛性（ocular rigidity）的概念，以及人眼的生物力學特性和流體力學。書中探討了基本的解剖學和生理學，並強調了對臨床醫生相關的數據。工程方面的內容以及臨床解釋也被呈現，以提供背景資訊。《眼球剛性、生物力學與眼睛的流體力學》（Ocular Rigidity, Biomechanics and Hydrodynamics of the Eye）總結了有關眼球剛性的最新證據，同時也提供了迄今為止的完整數據展示。作者最近在眼球剛性、角膜及眼球的生物力學和流體力學方面進行了研究，每一章節中都突顯了該主題的新近數據。目的是提供這些參數的理解框架，並確定它們在健康與疾病中的相關性。本書將是所有執業眼科醫生必讀的資料，特別是對於希望深入了解這一有趣研究領域，尤其是在屈光手術和青光眼方面的醫生。

Ioannis Pallikaris, MD, PhD, is a Greek ophthalmologist who in 1989 performed the first LASIK procedure on a human eye. Professor Palikaris was the rector of the University of Crete between 2003 and 2011 and president of ESCRS holding many awards including the Barraquer from AAO, the Ridley medal from ESCRS and the Kellman innovator from ASCRS. He is also the founder and director of the Institute of Vision and Optics in the University of Crete. His research is focused on visual Optics and refractive surgery, biodynamics and mechanics of the eye. He first developed a device for the intraoperative measurement of the eye rigidity, leading to numerous publications in that field. He designed several instruments, such as the rotating brush, pivot diamond, arcutome and also Eye tracey, PALM, EPI Lasik and EYEPCR. Lately, he is serving as a clinical coordinator in a multinational study on FixOflex, a device he has developed for reconstructing the peripheral lens capsule for elimination of PCO and more precise position and centering of the IOL optic.

Miltiadis Tsilimbaris, MD is the Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Crete Medical School. He is the Director of the University Eye Clinic of Heraklion and the Director of the Laboratory of Optics and Vision of the University of Crete Medical School. He shares his professional time between clinical care, research and teaching. Dr. Tsilimbaris is a vitreoretinal surgeon and he has clinical and research interests focused mainly in retina and vitreoretinal diseases. He is involved in pre and post-graduate teaching and he has published over 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals. Together with the other two editors he has a long standing interest in the clinical implication of sclera rigidity and has co-authored with them several publications on the topic.

Anna Dastiridou MD, PhD is an adjunct lecturer in Ophthalmology in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and University of Thessalia Medical School in Greece. She is an ophthalmic surgeon with a special interest in glaucoma. She is involved in pre- and post graduate teaching and her research is focused mainly on the biomechanics of the eye and the use of imaging in ophthalmology. She has coauthored 55 papers in peer-reviewed journals.

Ioannis Pallikaris醫學博士是希臘的眼科醫生，他於1989年在人體眼睛上進行了第一次LASIK手術。Pallikaris教授在2003年至2011年間擔任克里特大學的校長，並曾任ESCRS的會長，獲得多項獎項，包括AAO的Barraquer獎、ESCRS的Ridley獎和ASCRS的Kellman創新獎。他也是克里特大學視覺與光學研究所的創始人和主任。他的研究專注於視覺光學和屈光手術、眼睛的生物動力學和力學。他首次開發了一種用於眼睛剛度的術中測量裝置，並在該領域發表了多篇論文。他設計了幾種儀器，如旋轉刷、樞紐鑽石、弧刀，以及Eye tracey、PALM、EPI Lasik和EYEPCR。最近，他擔任一項多國研究的臨床協調員，該研究涉及他開發的FixOflex裝置，用於重建周邊晶狀體囊，以消除PCO並更精確地定位和中心化IOL光學元件。

Miltiadis Tsilimbaris醫學博士是克里特大學醫學院的眼科教授。他是赫拉克利翁大學眼科診所的主任，以及克里特大學醫學院光學與視覺實驗室的主任。他的專業時間分配在臨床護理、研究和教學之間。Tsilimbaris醫生是一名玻璃體視網膜外科醫生，他的臨床和研究興趣主要集中在視網膜和玻璃體視網膜疾病上。他參與研究生和碩士生的教學，並在同行評審的期刊上發表了超過150篇論文。與其他兩位編輯一起，他對鞏膜剛度的臨床意義有著長期的興趣，並與他們共同撰寫了多篇相關的出版物。

Anna Dastiridou醫學博士是希臘塞薩洛尼基亞里士多德大學和塞薩利亞醫學院的眼科兼任講師。她是一名眼科外科醫生，對青光眼特別感興趣。她參與研究生和碩士生的教學，並且她的研究主要集中在眼睛的生物力學和眼科成像的應用上。她在同行評審的期刊上共同撰寫了55篇論文。
