Main description:

Dr. Zoltan Z. Nagy performed the first femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in a human eye in 2008. As one of the most authoritative sources on the topic, Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery: Facts and Results presents the history of the development and use of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery summarizes the results of five years of pioneering techniques by Dr. Nagy and his team, including personal reflections and thoughts, as well as a series of classic papers.

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery consists of two main sections. The first section discusses and reviews the new results for the reader from the research. The second section comprises original articles on the topic of femtosecond laser cataract surgery that is essential to ophthalmologists.

Additional features include:

A review of the current state-of-the-art usages of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery
Examine existing technologies that compete with femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and compare outcomes
Discuss key secrets to successful surgical techniques using femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery
How to address and manage common complications associated with femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgerypresents these clinical results with cataract and corneal application, and highlights basic research with the strength of the anterior capsule and will assist ophthalmologists and residents alike gain a better understanding of the femtosecond laser cataract surgery process.
