Ophthalmologists Paul E. Garland, M. Fisher, M. They answer questions such as: How long should you wait to have cataract surgery? What type of anesthesia is used? How is the cataract actually removed? This book presents the principles and pearls for successful surgical management of challenging situations encountered during cataract surgery.
A wide range of settings are considered, including cataract surgery in patients with uveitis, traumatic cataract, dislocation of an intraocular lens, intumescent cataract, brunescent cataract, combined cataract and corneal disease, combined cataract and glaucoma, pediatric cataract, and refractive cataract surgery. In addition, preoperative factors conducive to a favorable surgical result are identified and appropriate management of postoperative complications, described. As longevity increases, cataract is becoming an even greater public health issue worldwide.
The use of cataract surgery, already one of the most frequently performed surgeries, is consequently increasing still further — a trend reinforced by developments in instrumentation and technology and improvements in access to surgery. However, comorbidities and challenges during surgery are very common. Challenges in Cataract Surgery will be a valuable reference for all residents, fellows, and practicing ophthalmologists who wish to improve their surgical techniques and outcomes.
With nearly three million Americans undergoing cataract surgery annually this survey is essential for those anticipating the procedure. This handbook covers the most frequently asked questions, such as What type of new lens is implanted in the eye? Is there pain after the surgery? A photographic outline illustrating how cataracts are removed and how new intraocular lenses are implanted is also included. The second volume of "Cataract and Refractive Surgery" in the Essentials in Ophthalmology series provides new information on cataract and refractive surgery.
The chapters discuss new techniques and technology. The emphasis is on areas that are rapidly evolving and essential to sophisticated clinical practice. The book has a well-structured text and design, and is quick and easy to read. It bridges the gap between primary literature and daily practice. This book will help clinicians provide the best results for their cataract and refractive surgical patients and is also indispensable for continuous education and advanced training.
Surely the threat of blindness from whatever cause, is an event faced by an ever-growing segment of our aging population. However, when the cause was cataract formation, over the centuries a definite treatment evolved and became available to help those afflicted with this problem, from couching, through crude extra-capsular Graeffe knife extraction, intra-capsular cataract surgery, and planned extra-capsular surgery, to phacoemulsification ultrasound or laser.
Doctors, therefore, recognized very early that there was one blinding condition which could be treated and in which vision could be i. The book covers all clinical aspects of pediatric cataract surgery. Chapters cover basic sciences, etiology, pre-operative evaluation, choice of intraocular lenses, steps of surgery, complications, considerations in traumatic cataract and post-operative rehabilitation.
It includes photographs, diagrams, flow charts and tables for easy memorization and understanding. Multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter help to evaluate the understanding and reinforce important concepts. The book aims to encourage ophthalmic surgeons to successfully treat children with cataract as all of them perform adult cataract surgeries but usually avoid managing pediatric cases.
This hesitation is primarily due to exhaustive pre-operative evaluation and long term follow up. As a result the back log of this disease in the developing world is significant and many such children are unable to receive timely intervention during their crucial period of visual development.
The chapters primarily focus on the clinically relevant issues to keep the reader interested. The book includes contributions from some of the most talented and experienced pediatric cataract surgeons. The book is relevant for ophthalmologists not commonly practicing pediatric cataract surgery and post graduate students.
This book provides a synopsis of the complications that can occur during cataract surgery. It has been especially designed with high quality colour pictures to illustrate the process of cataract surgery from patient assessment, surgical procedures and complications, through to wound closure and alternative techniques. Authored by a broad spectrum of highly respected contributors, this practical and easy-to-use reference includes sections on preoperative considerations, techniques and indications for ECCE and phacoemulsification, future trends for cataract extraction, intraocular lenses, operative complications and the management of postoperative complications, much more.
