Intraocular Lens Calculations

Cataract surgery, with 25-30 million surgeries per year, has become one of most popular surgeries in the world. As new premium intraocular lenses and modern surgical techniques have been developed, the demand has grown exponentially - not just for eliminating cataracts, but also for getting rid of the need for glasses. This book offers a comprehensive overview of IOL power calculations and the various formulas and methods. Chapters discuss control of the diagnostic 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 left, which implies a perfect mastery of all the IOL calculation process. This book marks the first time in Ophthalmological history that the main leaders in the field have collaborated in a project that will undoubtedly be the reference the next ten years. Intraocular Lens Calculations is a must-have resource for cataract and refractive surgeons as well as optometrists and general ophthalmologists.
