Main description:

Permanent surgical treatment for presbyopia remains the hereto unconquered "last frontier" in anterior segment surgery. Over the years, continuing innovations like Phaco, Radial Keratotomy, LASIK, and premium intraocular lenses have pushed toward this ultimate goal, but now anterior segment surgery is closer than ever with the advent of modern laser-assisted presbyopic lens implantation. Let Refractive Lens Exchange: A Surgical Treatment for Presbyopia, the first book of its kind, be your guide to this fifth wave of innovation in the surgical treatment of presbyopia.

Dr. Ming X. Wang, MD, PhD, joined by Associate Editor Dr. Tracy S. Swartz, OD, MS, FAAO and more than 30 expert contributors, compiled this remarkable book. Never before has there been a book dedicated to all aspects of refractive lens exchange as a permanent treatment for presbyopia, both medically and surgically.

Highlights of Refractive Lens Exchange include:

Overview of all surgical treatments for presbyopia
Dysfunctional lens syndrome and pathophysiology
Patient education and preoperative assessment
Marketing refractive lens exchange as a surgical treatment for presbyopia
New technologies in assessing dysfunctional lens syndrome
New technologies in mapping cornea and lens for refractive lens exchange
Retinal issues related to refractive lens exchange
Presbyopic lens types, indications, and contraindications for refractive lens exchange
Lens- and cornea-based astigmatism correction
Intraocular calculations for post refractive surgery eyes for refractive lens exchange
Intraoperative wavefront technology
3D high-definition microsurgical visualization and positioning technology
Femtosecond laser application in refractive lens exchange
Postoperative care and complication management
YAG capsulotomy after refractive lens exchange: indications and alternatives
Postoperative care and complication management
Keratorefractive enhancement

Designed for newcomers as well as seasoned eyecare professionals, Refractive Lens Exchange: A Surgical Treatment for Presbyopia is the first book to guide ophthalmic surgeons, optometrists, and technicians through this exciting new field that is emerging as a safe and effective primary surgical treatment for presbyopia.
