Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures worldwide. In traditional cataract surgery, the surgeon uses handheld instruments and a scalpel blade. This manual approach limits predictability and precision, potentially affecting visual outcomes and complication rates. Femtolaser surgery allows surgeons to access and remove a cataract with far greater accuracy, much faster and causing little or no discomfort to the patient (Omni Eye Services). This book is a comprehensive guide to femtolaser cataract surgery. Beginning with an introduction to the procedure, the following chapters examine various laser systems currently used in practice, comparing their technologies, techniques, benefits and potential complications. Written by an internationally recognised author and editor team, this invaluable manual includes more than 400 clinical photographs, illustrations and tables. Key points Complete guide to femtolaser cataract surgery Describes and compares different laser systems used in daily practice Internationally recognised author and editor team Includes more than 400 clinical photographs, illustrations and tables

Femtosecond cataract surgery is the next step in the evolution of cataract surgery. In Femtosecond Cataract Surgery: A Primer, Dr. Louis E. Probst and Dr. Clara C. Chan lead the way by bringing together current technology and clinical experience to provide a concise yet comprehensive overview on this ground-breaking technique. Femtosecond Cataract Surgery: A Primer is composed of clinical chapters written by 18 of the world's leading experts who have pioneering, hands-on experience performing the procedure paired with chapters on the technology of each of the 4 current systems. Intraoperative and clinical photographs further showcase the most up-to-date techniques and clinical experiences in each of the systems, as well as illustrations of their unique and common characteristics. Features include the following: - New data presented in a companion table format to evaluate the different technologies - Consistent representation of each system - First-hand knowledge from expert international surgeons Additionally, a comparison table has been constructed with the most recent information offering clear differentiation on the techniques and technologies of each system. The table also tracks each system's progression in the approval system in the United States and Europe. The final chapter in Femtosecond Cataract Surgery: A Primer serves as an update on the current investigations of presbyopia treatment with femtosecond lasers. Providing a wealth of new data in a concise and organized format, Femtosecond Cataract Surgery: A Primer is an indispensible resource for ophthalmologists, cataract surgeons, optometrists, and other professionals in the eye care industry.

The femtosecond laser has emerged as a groundbreaking game-changer in ophthalmic surgery. It was first introduced for corneal refractive surgery in flap creation during LASIK, and subsequently for cataract surgery in 2008. The femtosecond laser cuts deeply on a single plane without collateral damage. Its high precision and safety result in excellent outcomes in the hands of experienced eye surgeons, benefiting virtually everyone. Femtosecond Laser Surgery in Ophthalmology fills an unmet need for a comprehensive, up-to-date resource on growing applications of this state-of-the-art technology. H Burkhard Dick is a world-renowned pioneer who has performed more than 6,000 laser cataract operations. Readers will benefit from his keen insights along with the collective expertise of co-authors Tim Schultz, Ronald D. Gerste, and a cadre of top-notch contributors. Twenty-nine chapters encompass basic physics, refractive and therapeutic cornea treatment, various aspects of laser cataract surgery, and patient selection. Key Features Clinical pearls, outcomes, and complications management in femtosecond laser-assisted in situkeratomileusis surgery Discussion of crucial steps including capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and corneal incisions The use of the femtosecond laser for presbyopia, pediatric cataract surgery, and ocular comorbidities Extensive videos posted in the Thieme MediaCenter further elucidate techniques More than 300 high quality illustrations and photos add a rich visual dimension This practical book provides in-depth knowledge on the applications of femtosecond laser surgery, enabling cataract and refractive surgeons to incorporate these techniques into daily practice. Ophthalmologists and ophthalmology fellows and residents will discover an invaluable resource for specialized training.

The book Femtosecond Laser: Techniques and Technology provides complete insight of Femtosecond Laser technology in various ocular indications. Refractive Surgery technology has undergone rapid advancements and innovations in last two decades. Femtosecond Laser offers new possibilities in the field of minimally invasive corneal surgery. It employs near infrared pulses to cut tissue with minimal collateral tissue damage. The highly localized tissue effect of low energy Femtosecond Laser shall expand the capabilities and precision of this technology in near future and may be used to create three-dimensional intrastromal resection with micron precision. Femtosecond laser is a simple, rapid reliable and efficient method in ophthalmology with satisfactory results for effective lens position and refractive outcome. Femtosecond laser is enjoying rapid growth in the area of cataract surgery. The Femtosecond Laser has proved its versatility in Lamellar keratoplasty, customized trephination in penetrating keratoplasty, tunnel creation for intracorneal ring segments, astigmatic keratotomy for keratoprostheses, non-invasive trans-scleral glaucoma surgery, retinal imaging presbyopic surgery and cataract surgery. Advances in ultrafast laser technology continued to improve the surgical safety, efficiency, speed and versatility of Femtosecond Lasers in Ophthalmology. Femtosecond Laser finds application in anterior and posterior segment indications of ophthalmology.

This book presents the most modern and innovative techniques in ocular surgery currently utilized by experts in the field. All aspects of ocular surgery from the front to the back of the eye are covered in this resource, with all surgeries demonstrated as ‘recipes’ with first the ingredients and then the surgical techniques with step-by-step instructions. The surgeries are illustrated with photographs, drawings and videos for practical application, and the step-by-step presentation allows for quick and easy access to the most appropriate techniques in ocular surgery.
