Publisher's Synopsis
A Manual of Ophthalmic Surgery, written by Benjamin Thompson Lowne and originally published in 1876, is a comprehensive guide to the surgical procedures used in ophthalmology at the time. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the anatomy and physiology of the eye, the instruments and techniques used in ophthalmic surgery, and the various diseases and conditions that can affect the eye and require surgical intervention. Lowne provides detailed instructions for performing procedures such as cataract extraction, corneal transplantation, and iridectomy, as well as less common procedures like enucleation and evisceration. The book also includes information on the management of complications that can arise during surgery, such as bleeding and infection. In addition to its practical information, A Manual of Ophthalmic Surgery also provides historical context for the development of ophthalmic surgery, including descriptions of the contributions of notable figures such as John Taylor and William Bowman.
