About this book

Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedure in the United States, and cataracts are a leading cause of visual impairment in the world. Glaucoma is also a very common eye disease with an expected 3.3 million Americans afflicted with primary open angle glaucoma by 2020. The coexistence of these two diseases is not uncommon and management of a cataract can have significant impact on the glaucoma status of a patient.

Cataract surgery textbooks may have one chapter dedicated to the management of cataract with coexistent glaucoma. Likewise, a typical glaucoma surgical text dedicates one chapter to the management of these two diseases concurrently. This book will focus on the treatment of cataract in the setting of glaucoma, using an evidence-based medicine approach. Managing cataracts to the best advantage of the glaucoma should result in the best visual outcomes for patients. It should be a wonderful resource for general ophthalmologists and residents as well as glaucoma fellows.

Reviews

From the reviews: “This is an excellent resource for ophthalmologists who perform cataract surgery on their glaucoma patients. … This book is written for ophthalmologists and ophthalmologists in training. … The book explains the surgical techniques particularly well with detailed illustrations and photographs. … This book successfully accomplishes its goal of discussing the management of cataract in the glaucoma patient. The high quality of the text and the excellent illustrations help guide readers to an understanding of the unique considerations of surgical approaches to glaucoma and cataracts.” (Prithvi S. Sankar, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2010)
