Cataract Surgery in Complicated Cases by Lucio Buratto, Robert H. Osher, and Samuel Masket is a text that every cataract surgeon needs. It is widely known that cases of "normal" cataracts are decreasing, while incidences of "difficult" cases are increasing greatly. This trend negates the standard approach to cataract surgery and requires a more thorough examination of practical and innovative surgical options. This book was designed to provide extensive coverage of all of these options. Complicated cases require additional preparation, and this book aims to provide surgeons with all of the information necessary to treat these difficult cases. Through personal techniques provided by more than 50 expert international surgeons, this extensive resource provides coverage of the necessary steps to employ when complex situations arise. Cataract Surgery in Complicated Cases is essential to every surgeon, not only because of its comprehensive coverage of challenging cases, but also because of the authors' extensive knowledge of cataract surgery. This book will help the surgeon achieve extremely positive results by teaching safety and practical techniques. With over 600 photographs illustrating these complicated situations, the authors will take you step-by-step through each possible surgical approach.

Ophthalmologists continue to confront difficult surgical situations, requiring practical surgical maneuvers to achieve a successful outcome. As phacoemulsification becomes the leading method of lens extraction around the world, the incidence of these difficult cases is steadily rising. The Complicated Cataract: The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary Practice Handbook is an intermediate phaco book with emphasis on special maneuvers and techniques. It is intended for surgeons who have basic phacoemulsification skills and face challenging situations in their daily practices. The goal of this book is to provide the reader with an accessible way to quickly understand how to handle these difficult clinical situations successfully. The book is organized to allow the reader to rapidly refer to a relevant chapter when a challenging case is encountered. It is designed for use in the office while evaluating patients, as well as in the surgical suite. The modified outline format permits rapid consultation, allowing for easy reference. General ophthalmologists, anterior segment surgeons, residents, fellows, and medical libraries— anyone interested in expanding phacoemulsification skills— will benefit from the user-friendly format of this book. Some Features Include: Relevant preoperative issues during cataract surgery in the presence of a compromised cornea. Surgical Management of the small pupil. Risk and complications of a dense cataract. Surgical strategies and IOL choices for the pediatric cataract. IOL power calculation after refractive surgery.

Part of the new series Gems of Ophthalmology, this book provides ophthalmic surgeons with the latest advances in cataract surgery. Divided into 24 chapters, the book begins with an overview of incision making, followed by discussion on different types of lenses. The next sections cover a variety of techniques in cataract surgery including phacoemulsification for patients with other existing ocular conditions such as uveitis, corneal diseases and those that have previously undergone vitrectomy procedures. The book concludes with discussion on femtosecond laser-assisted surgery. Complete chapters are dedicated to paediatric cataract surgery and toxic anterior segment syndrome (acute inflammation following generally uneventful cataract and anterior segment surgery). This comprehensive text is further enhanced by clinical and surgical photographs, diagrams and tables. Other topics in the series include: Cornea & Sclera, Diseases of the Uvea, Glaucoma, and Retina. Key points Comprehensive guide to latest advances in cataract surgery Part of the new Gems of Ophthalmology series Covers many basic and more complex procedures Other topics in the series include: Cornea & Sclera, Diseases of the Uvea, Glaucoma, and Retina

This book summarizes the current knowledge on lens surgery. Not only are the surgical procedures described in detail, but experts share with the reader many useful practical tips for individual surgical steps to achieve the best possible surgical result. In addition to the focus on surgery, pre- and post-operative care and complication management is also discussed in detail and a systematic review of the current literature is provided. Clear and concisely written chapters highlight topics such as the use of special lenses, femto-laser lens surgery, secondary lens implantation and phakic lens surgery throughout the book. Cataract and Lens Surgery offers a practical resource for ophthalmologists who perform lens surgery in their daily clinical practice. Clinicians navigating the different types of lens preparations and properties for routine to complex procedures will find this book to be an essential guide.
