Full Description
Part of the new series Gems of Ophthalmology, this book provides ophthalmic surgeons with the latest advances in cataract surgery.
Divided into 24 chapters, the book begins with an overview of incision making, followed by discussion on different types of lenses.
The next sections cover a variety of techniques in cataract surgery including phacoemulsification for patients with other existing ocular conditions such as uveitis, corneal diseases and those that have previously undergone vitrectomy procedures. The book concludes with discussion on femtosecond laser-assisted surgery.
Complete chapters are dedicated to paediatric cataract surgery and toxic anterior segment syndrome (acute inflammation following generally uneventful cataract and anterior segment surgery).
This comprehensive text is further enhanced by clinical and surgical photographs, diagrams and tables.
Other topics in the series include: Cornea & Sclera, Diseases of the Uvea, Glaucoma, and Retina.
