In his \"life's work\", the author shows how the slit lamp can be used to depict almost the entire field of ophthalmology – from the eyelids and anterior segment to the fundus and portrayal of eye motility. This results in the first book in ophthalmology that covers the entire subject with just one device.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional slit lamp examination techniques are combined with the innovative documentation of ophthalmic findings using videography. Access to these videos is provided in the book.

He studied medicine in Kiel (1982-1989) and Manchester, supported by the German National Scholarship Foundation, and earned his certification in ophthalmology at the University Eye Hospital in Freiburg. Since 1996 he has been a practising ophthalmologist in Kellinghusen in northern Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2006 Dr. Gellrich has been devoting intensive scientific effort to the slit lamp. It is his most fervent desire to encourage and witness the modernization of the slit lamp so that its potential can be fully exploited in today’s ophthalmology practices. To that end, he believes that a “sea change” must take place: From traditional biomicroscopy to a videographic approach that enables the slit lamp user to profit fully from recent technological breakthroughs such as video technology, digital image processing, and telemedicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis concept was presented in many lectures and films on national and international conferences (e.g. SOE and WOC) by Mr. Gellrich. It was also the main topic of his first book on the slit lamp, published in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe German Society of Ophthalmology (Deutsche Ophthalmologische Gesellschaft, DOG) awarded Dr. Gellrich the 1st video prize in 2007, 2015, 2017 and the Special video prize in 2011. He was also the first practising ophthalmologist to win the Hans Sautter Scientific Prize from the Association of the North German Ophthalmologists, which he received for a preliminary version of this comprehensive slit lamp atlas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 October 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Berlin Heidelberg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783662702758\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e804\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63414160883852,"sku":"9783662702758","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783662702758","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
