Clinical Practice in Small Incision Cataract Surgery covers all aspects of small incision cataract surgery from lens anatomy to various operative techniques, complications, management and recent advances. It is the first alternative choice to phacoemulsification.

Features:

• Discusses issues in optical and acoustical biometry and sterilization
• Covers topical and non-topical anesthesias as well as modern anesthetic viscoelastics
• Describes the roles that fulidics and the various viscosurgical devices play in the safety of cataract surgery
• Includes coverage of preoperative preparation of the patient, the dynamics of SICS, and surgical techniques used during the various operative steps
• Contains nearly 1000 illustration-almost 700 in full color
