Description

This text explains phacoemulsification, taking the essential concepts and simplifying them. It examines such topics as intraocular anaesthesia instead of needles or eyedrops and corneal incisions instead of scleral ones. The book should help surgeons to re-evaluate phacoemulsification and their individual technique. It discusses and clarifies such important procedures as: hydrodissection; divide and conquer; the phaco chop, stop and chop; viscoexpression; and vacuum-cleaner phacoemulsification. It also includes information on operating room efficiencies and reviews "What To Do When You Don't Get What You Want" for all procedures, and then gives solutions. - from Amzon
