Surgeons must meet the challenges of understanding and implementing the new technology for pseudophakia if they are to ride the coming demographic tidal wave of baby boomers desiring excellent vision without relying on spectacles. Refractive Lens Surgery represents a compilation of the best cutting edge practices for achieving success with refractive lens exchange. From mastering biometry and lens power calculations in eyes that have had prior keratorefractive surgery to learning the latest micro incision lens extraction techniques, this well known group of authors will take you step by step into the exciting new world of intraocular lens technology. Refractive Lens Surgery will serve as both a text book and a reference guide to this exciting and rapidly growing segment of ophthalmology, an invaluable resource that makes sense of the myriad new developments in this field.

Many minimally invasive procedures have been developed over the past decades, leading to a great improvement in eye surgery. This unique textbook and reference guide provides a complete up-to-date overview of minimally invasive surgical techniques in ophthalmology. Lavishly illustrated with superb illustrations and video clips, it presents the state of the art of minimally invasive ophthalmic procedures. It serves as an invaluable resource for all ophthalmic surgeons with widely varying levels of experience, from the resident to the experienced surgeon.

Many ophthalmologists are in the transition from the traditional cataract surgery technique to the new minimally incision cataract surgery (MICS) technique. They are in the need of updated information on how to make this transition smoothly. In this book, world-renowned opinion leaders present up-to-date information on the new and fast-developing trends in cataract surgery. It reflects the state of the art of microincisional cataract surgery with the concept of minimizing incision. It offers all necessary information on the new technology as well as on the surgical technique. Further, it demonstrates how to handle difficult cataract cases as well as new intraocular lenses.
