Phaco Step by Step

Since phacoemulsification is the norm for cataract surgery today, it is essential that the basic steps for this established procedure are mastered by all. But why another text? Just as phaco made possible small incision catract surgery before IOLs were available that would pass through these smaller incisions, early understanding, acceptance and subsequent adoption of this technology forced the development of foldable IOLs. In this small text, the illustrious Drs Agarwal - Sunita, Athiya and Amar - teach the reader step-by-step the techniques and procedures that make it possible to extract a cataract and implant a lens through the smallest of conceivable incisions. In addition to the basics, the authors cover no anesthesia cataract surgery and managment of complications like dropped nuclei. Just another text? Hardly, it is prescribed reading for all involved in the routine of cataract surgery.Agarwal, Sunita is the author of 'Phaco Step by Step', published 2005 under ISBN 9781841845494 and ISBN 1841845493.
