The Art of Phacoemulsification

The primary intent of the book is to provide an introduction to the subject of Phacoemulsification as well as the framework. Presentation of the material begins with the most fundamental aspects and builds up successive levels of knowledge. The purpose of this volume is to consider, in-depth, all aspects of Phacoemulsification. It is hoped that it will provide the ophthalmic surgeon who intends to commence Phacoemulsification surgery with the information necessary for effective and safe participation. It is designed to consider both the problem and its solution. This book covers a fair set of surgical methods and complications. Each chapter thus is an insight into the technique suitable for each surgeon and most importantly; the technique, which best suits that particular case. Each surgeon provides a detailed description directly from his or her experience of the more important Phacoemulsification techniques and his or her reaction to each new development.
