Description
Cataracts are a very common condition whereby the lens of the eye becomes cloudy causing blurred vision. Over time, a cataract can get worse, eventually leading to blindness if untreated. Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness worldwide. Phacoemulsification surgery is the most widely used method for cataract management.
This book presents the four main phacoemulsification techniques. Beginning with an introduction to each method and the instruments used for surgery, each of the techniques is then described step by step in bullet format, from basics to advanced procedures for complicated cases.
Edited by a recognised Swiss specialist, this concise guide includes nearly 100 full colour images and illustrations depicting both correct and incorrect techniques with detailed explanations.
