About this book
Cataract surgery, with 25-30 million surgeries per year, has become one of most popular surgeries in the world. The calculation of its power is of utmost importance. As new premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) and modern surgical techniques have been developed, the demand has grown exponentially - not only for eliminating cataracts, but also for getting rid of the need for glasses.
This book offers a comprehensive overview of IOL power calculations and its various formulas and methods. Chapters discuss use of the diagnostic biometry devices that provide the measurements and the management of different clinical situations where particular modifications must be applied. Chapters also discuss the newest generation of multifocal and toric IOLs that can only be implanted if no residual refraction is planned for, which implies a perfect mastery of all the IOL calculation process.This book marks the first time in ophthalmological history that all the main leaders inthe field have collaborated in a project that will undoubtedly be the reference for the next ten years. Intraocular Lens Calculations is a must-have resource for cataract and refractive surgeons as well as technicians and anyone dealing with this subject.
