The Art of Refractive Surgery aims at providing a simplified and step-wise approach to ophthalmologists for planning and performing various refractive surgeries including corneal, lenticular, or combined approaches. Refractive surgery is extremely challenging as suboptimal outcomes are unacceptable. This field has seen huge developments in the recent years with advancements in investigative modalities, better laser delivery systems, wider range of options of refractive surgeries, and improved eye-tracking devices. However, the selection of ideal surgery for every patient remains a challenge and a thorough understanding of basic concepts can aid in decision-making. The Art of Refractive Surgery deals with these basic concepts, and provides certain surgical and planning tips, which have been derived through years of experience. Key Features: Interactive style of the narrative ideal for refractive surgeons, ophthalmologists, fellows, and residents who wish to update their refractive surgery knowledge Practical examples with individual case-based approach for planning, decision-making and surgical management in a variety of scenarios Extensive review of literature and includes the latest meta-analysis and clinical studies Numerous illustrations and simple language to elucidate complex refractive situations Surgical videos explaining each refractive surgery step-wise for deeper understanding

Textbook of Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery is a comprehensive reference for the general ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon regarding the explosive new technology in femtosecond laser cataract surgery. Femtosecond laser allows extreme precision in surgery, and is used in refractive surgery and for ‘cuts’ in the cornea, leading to a more uniform treatment for the patient. Textbook of Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery is for cataract surgeons and all eye care providers managing or diagnosing cataracts who wish to be informed about this technology and its applications. Edited and written by recognized leaders in the field, this book covers background, technical, clinical, and commercial aspects of this exciting technology. Some of the topics covered include the evolution of cataract surgery, femtosecond laser fundamentals, challenges of femtosecond laser technology for cataract surgery, and the economics of laser cataract surgery.

Drs. Gimbel and Penno provide a comprehensive look at a wide variety of refractive surgery techniques in their new book. Specific techniques are discussed along with preoperative assessments, counseling, and informed consent. In addition to chapters on the commonly performed techniques of LASIK and PRK, there are chapters on intracorneal ring segments, phakic IOL implants, refractive lensectomy, and retreatments. The authors take a practical and concise approach to a wide scope of modern refractive surgery techniques which makes this reference valuable for both the experienced and beginning surgeon. Patient examples are featured illustrating the fundamental principles of assessment and choosing the appropriate refractive surgery technique for an individual patient. The inclusion of co-management principles emphasizes integrated care during the assessment and preoperative work-up, as well as during the postoperative period. This book is an important source that covers many refractive surgery approaches to help you choose the best procedure for your patients and achieve the best results possible.

The quintessential, reader-friendly guide to refractive cataract surgery (RCS) fundamentals An estimated 3.6 million cataract surgeries are performed annually in the U.S. Significant advances in IOL technology and techniques have been made in the last two decades. Concurrently, this has given rise to a growing desire among cataract patients to correct preexisting refractive errors with the goal of reducing or eliminating reliance on glasses/contact lenses. Recent surveys have shown that ophthalmology residents and many practicing cataract surgeons receive inadequate training in RCS, including astigmatism and presbyopia correction. The Art of Refractive Cataract Surgery: For Residents, Fellows, and Beginners edited by renowned cataract experts Fuxiang Zhang, Alan Sugar, and Lisa Brothers Arbisser fills a gap in the literature. This the first book specifically written for students, with uniquely focused chapters based on residents' and junior colleagues' questions and refined by their real feedback. Featuring contributions from a carefully curated team of distinguished refractive cataract surgeons, this reader-friendly book provides expert insights on essential principles and how-to surgical guidance for diverse types of premium IOLs. Clearly-defined basic and fundamental knowledge and applications provide ample inspiration for trainees and early-career refractive cataract surgeons to ford the challenging river of learning curves. Each premium IOL chapter includes candidate selection criteria, contraindications, and evidence-based pearls to inform surgical decision-making, prevent complications, and improve patient outcomes. Key Highlights Twenty-three chapters cover a full spectrum of contemporary refractive cataract surgery topics, including Topography/LRI/Toric/MFIOL/EDOF/Trifocal/Monovision/Piggyback/ORA/FLACS Detailed prerequisite of surgical pearls helps ensure optimal outcomes for every cataract surgery More than 20 procedural videos provide clinical insights on specific techniques High-yield tables, charts, and illustrations enable rapid acquisition of key information The authors believe that this unique resource has great value for residents, fellows, and early-career refractive cataract surgeons who wish to incorporate this facet of ophthalmology into practice or improve their RCS skills.

The topics of this volume on cataract surgery range from prevention to state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques and the latest surgical treatment options for many eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy or rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Useful basics, surgical principles, challenging cases, as well as the most advanced femtosecond assisted cataract surgeries are discussed.
