He is the editor of books Choroidal Disorders?, Central Serous Chorioretinopathy? and Choroidal Neovascularization?. He is on the reviewing boards of all high-impact journals including Science Translational Medicine and Lancet. He is also on the editorial board of several journals including the American Journal of Ophthalmology. He serves on the `grant reviewing board of various funding agencies. He is a member of many esteemed societies such as the Macula Society and Gonin Club. He is a member of various scientific committees in various national and international societies including the American Academy of Ophthalmology. He has delivered more than 200 invited lectures and has been invited for visiting professorship by many universities around the world. He has won several national and international awards and delivered multiple named lectures. Dr. Ruiz-Medrano works as a Retina & Oncology Fellow at Jules-Gonin Eye Hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland. He obtained his Degree in Medicine from the Autónoma University of Madrid, Spain in 2011. He completed his residency in Ophthalmology at Clínico San Carlos University Hospital in Madrid and was awarded his European Board of Ophthalmology Diploma in 2016. An active researcher, he has published investigation papers in peer-reviewed high impact journals and he has authored several chapters in international books. He has received investigation grants and prizes from the Spanish Retina & Vitreous Society, Rementería Foundation and Castroviejo Ophthalmic Research Institute. His research interests include advanced retinal and choroidal image analysis, and he is currently working on a PhD on the study of the normal choroid using Swept-Source optical coherence tomography. Klappentext Choroidal Disorders provides an overview on various chorioretinal disorders with a special emphasis on choroidal imaging. As our understanding of the choroid has significantly improved with the development of advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its role in posterior segment diseases is gaining new significance, this book focuses on the related improvements, diagnostic capabilities, management and prognosis of various chorioretinal disorders. It covers conventional techniques, such as ultrasonography and indocyanine green angiography as well as the most advanced techniques, including enhanced depth imaging OCT, swept source OCT, and OCT angiography.
