Microperimetry and Multimodal Retinal Imaging

Edoardo Midena graduated in Medicine and Surgery, magna cum laude, at the University of Padova Medical School, in Italy. After his residency in Ophthalmology, he obtained his PhD in History of Medicine. After Fellowships in Pathology and Retina, his research and practice primarily focused on posterior segment diseases. After being Visiting Professor of Ophthalmology in major Ophthalmic Institutions around the world, he became Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Padova Medical School in 2001, and Full Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the same University in 2006. In 2007, he became Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology, Padova University Hospital and Director of the Residency Program in Ophthalmology at the same University. Dr. Midena is also General Secretary of: the European Board of Ophthalmology, the Italian Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology , and the Italian Retina Society; he is member of the scientific board of the GB Bietti Foundation (IRCCS, Rome) and scientific consultant to the Robert Hollman Foundation. He is an elected member of the European Academy of Ophthalmology, the Club Jules Gonin, the Retina Society, and the Macula Society. He is Fellow of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (FARVO) and the European Board of Ophthalmology (FEBO). Dr Midena is in the editorial boards of some major ophthalmology journals. He has written four books, edited three books, and has published 98 papers in peer-reviewed journals.

"This is the first book on microperimetry and multiple retinal imaging techniques, introducing a multi-dimensional approach to the retina and the integration of our knowledge of the macula in health and disease. It is a valuable tool for those who are interested in integrating pathology and functionality, and who want to broaden their understanding of the complexity of the retina."
