While chopping techniques are particularly advantageous for complicated cataracts, they must be integrated with other devices and strategies. Phaco Chop, the best-selling cataract surgery book, has been revised and updated into a Second Edition to reflect the many advances over the past few years. More than half of the 30 total chapters are new. These detail strategies for complicated cases and introduce femtosecond laser nuclear fragmentation techniques. Dr. David F. Chang is widely acknowledged as one of the best cataract surgical teachers. His video instruction courses for phaco chop and complicated cataracts have consistently ranked among the best attended and top rated at the American Academy of Ophthalmology and American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meetings for over a decade. The Four Main Sections inside the Second Edition: Phaco Chop Techniques Phacodynamics of Chopping Femtosecond Laser Nuclear Pre-Chopping Complicated Cases and Complications – Strategies and Management Section One is a detailed guide for learning phaco chop. The faculty from Dr. Chang’s popular phaco chop course outlines their pearls based upon extensive experience teaching residents and transitioning surgeons. Section Two provides the general principles of instrumentation and configuring machine parameters. Separate chapters specifically address optimizing the Infiniti, Signature, and Stellaris platforms for chopping. Section Three introduces femtosecond laser nuclear pre chopping with separate chapters on the LenSx, LensAR, and Optimedica platforms. Section Four covers small pupils and IFIS, rock hard and white mature cataracts, weak zonules, and extremely long and short eyes with an emphasis on managing posterior capsule rupture, advanced IOL fixation strategies, and avoiding and managing capsulorrhexis complications.

A cataract is the most common cause of blindness worldwide, and phacoemulsification is the most common method of cataract surgery. Specific techniques of phacoemulsification are constantly updated and improved, thanks to the equipment now available to the ophthalmic surgeon, and the skills required to use it. There are a number of large recently published books on the market which deal with phacoemulsification surgery in great detail, but until now there has been no single title available which condenses the required information into a smaller, more accessible format. Phacoemulsification Made Easy has been written by Dr Aasheet Desai and Dr Jack Kanski, the latter being the world s best selling author of ophthalmology books. It is aimed primarily at trainee ophthalmologists, but will also be of interest to anyone involved in ophthalmology, from students to practising ophthalmic surgeons.
