Phakic intraocular lenses are innovative devices that provide the ability to correct extreme levels of myopia, nearsightedness, and astigmatism that other modalities have been unsuccessful correcting. As these devices are increasingly gaining popularity internationally, it has become equally important for a reference to come forward that explains their capabilities. Drs. David R. Hardten, Richard L. Lindstrom, and Elizabeth A. Davis have collaborated with an array of experts to produce Phakic Intraocular Lenses: Principles and Practice, a dynamic text concerning one of the newest frontiers in refractive surgery. This well-referenced text includes multiple styles of intraocular lenses and locations of implantation, as well as results, complications, and optics. The authors utilize a comprehensive, user-friendly format coupled with excellent illustrations to thoroughly explain this emerging topic. An impressive list of contributors provides professional insight into everything there is to know about phakic intraocular lenses. Contributors: C. Joseph Anderson, MD; Nicole J.

Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other eye care professionals dealing with implants will benefit greatly from this authoritative resource on phakic intraocular lenses. Topics Include: Posterior Chamber Sulcus Fixated Lenses Posterior Chamber Iris Centered Lenses Anterior Chamber Iris Fixated L Anterior Chamber Angle Fixated Lenses Bioptics Phakic Intraocular Lens Calculations Refractive Lens Exchange Presbyopic and Multifocal Lenses Preoperative Evaluation & Postoperative Care Comparison of Refractive Outcomes Future of Phakic Intraocular Lenses

Cataract Surgery With Phaco and Femtophaco Techniques offers a unique insight into the evolution of phacoemulsification machines and the development of new ways to supply energy, as well as new devices that improve fluidics therefore increasing the safety of the phaco and femtophaco surgical procedures. Dr. Lucio Buratto, Dr. Stephen Brint, and Dr. Rosalia Sorce provide a step-by-step approach to everything the surgeon must learn about the physical principles that regulate the fluidics and energy to understand the machine's working during the surgical procedure. Cataract Surgery With Phaco and Femtophaco Techniques covers a wide variety of topics, including anterior chamber phacoemulsification, endocapsular techniques, irrigation and aspiration, fluidics and pumps, and principles of femtosecond cataract surgery. Supplemented by more than 300 color illustrations, diagrams, a glossary, and references, all surgeons from beginner to expert will want this unique resource by their side.

Concurrent with the 50th anniversary of Harold Ridley's invention of the intraocular lens, Dr. David Apple and his colleagues have authored this unique book, which provides a comprehensive view of the foldable IOLs available today and the surgical techniques required for their implantation. This book will help ophthalmologists evaluate and select lenses for implantation by giving a detailed assessment and comparison of the various lenses and their clinicopathologic correlations. Important steps in surgical techniques are highlighted to help minimize complications and enhance surgical results. Over 400 full-color photographs are included to provide the reader with the most current information needed to understand the foldable IOLs on the market. Topics include: IOL evolution, a detailed systematic evaluation of available foldable IOL designs and a clinicopathologic correlation of foldable IOL complications. The teaching and research materials are based largely on the authors, photographic and statistical analysis of their collection of postmortem eyes containing IOLs, which is the largest such collection in the world. Special Features Over 400 photos drawn from Dr. Apple's vast archives, mostly unseen until now. An unbiased approach and comparison of available foldable IOLs allows the reader to make an informed decision for the choice of implant. Common challenges faced by ophthalmologists dealing with foldable IOLs, including the development of posterior capsule opacification.

This comprehensive 2nd edition will build on the highly successful first edition, providing an updated global perspective of the fundamentals of multifocal intraocular lenses. The varying outcomes, limitations, and the neuroadaptation process necessary for an adequate clinical success are thoroughly discussed, along with an overview of the different types of multifocal lenses, including the recently developed extended depth of focus lenses. Multifocal Intraocular Lenses: The Art and the Practice, 2nd edition opens with an introduction that will delve into current technological offerings for the correction of pseudophakic presbyopia, as well as the opportunity for refractive lens exchange in advanced presbyopic ages and the opportunity to use these lenses. The first section will include the historical background and clinical indications, while section two addresses the varying types and models of lenses currently available, including important clinical and technological highlights. Section three and four will follow, and provide an extended look at the Zeiss and Alcon Family Multifocal IOL’s. Section five will delve into extended depth of field lenses, and will contain an introduction about the concept, different models and the evidence available about their outcomes. Section six concludes the book, closely examining accommodative intraocular lenses, and a full update will be provided on these lenses, the failures of the past and the hopes for the future. Multifocal Intraocular Lenses: The Art and the Practice, 2nd edition is a thorough, resource for the practical ophthalmologist and ophthalmic surgeon interested in learning more about intraocular lenses, identifying the best technologies and lenses for the benefit of their patients.

The first clinical application of intraocular lens (IOL) goes back to 1949 when Dr. Harold Ridley successfully implanted a PMMA IOL into an eye on 29 November 1949. This innovation is a big step forward for cataract surgery. With development of the IOL material and biocompatibility, more and more IOL types have been used in clinical ophthalmology. This book is the fruit of worldwide cooperation between clinical teams. In this book we discuss the IOL materials and design, aberration and astigmatism correction with IOL, entopic phenomenon of IOL, myopia and phakic IOL, and secondary IOL techniques. We believe that this content provides the readers with a comprehensive knowledge of the latest developments of IOL.

Zusammenfassung: Cataract surgery, with 25-30 million surgeries per year, has become one of most popular surgeries in the world. The calculation of its power is of utmost importance. As new premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) and modern surgical techniques have been developed, the demand has grown exponentially - not only for eliminating cataracts, but also for getting rid of the need for glasses. This book offers a comprehensive overview of IOL power calculations and its various formulas and methods. Chapters discuss use of the diagnostic biometry devices that provide the measurements and the management of different clinical situations where particular modifications must be applied. Chapters also discuss the newest generation of multifocal and toric IOLs that can only be implanted if no residual refraction is planned for, which implies a perfect mastery of all the IOL calculation process. This book marks the first time in ophthalmological history that all the main leaders in the field have collaborated in a project that will undoubtedly be the reference for the next ten years. Intraocular Lens Calculations is a must-have resource for cataract and refractive surgeons as well as technicians and anyone dealing with this subject
