Publisher's Synopsis
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.
