Main description:

Cataract Surgery and Intraocular Lenses offers a detailed overview of intraocular lenses, as the choice of the IOL to be implanted is a critical detail in the patient selection and surgical preparation, and therefore leading to the most optimal patient results. The authors present the latest information on the most advanced diagnostic techniques and surgical decisions for IOL selection and implantation.

It covers a wide variety of topics, including monofocal IOLs, multifocal IOLs, accommodative IOLs, injectors and implantation of foldable IOLs, tear or damage of the IOL, and viscoelastic substances.

Supplemented by more than 200 colour illustrations, diagrams, a glossary, and references, all surgeons from beginner to expert will want this unique resource by their side.
