In the 21st century, the latest developments in ophthalmic surgery will be in the field of Presbyopia. This dynamic book not only presents the concepts necessary to understand Presbyopia, but also offers the surgical possibilities for treatingthe condition. It is the ideal resource for ophthalmologists who currently perform Presbyopic treatment as well as those wanting to move into it.
Dr. Agarwal and his contributors have created a complete, thorough book about the management of this condition. It covers the scleral, corneal, and lenticular modifications done to treat Presbyopia, dissects each technique, and explains how to manage complications of each technique. The most recent treatments, cataract or clear lens surgery as well as the no anesthesia procedure, are discussed in full detail. The latest technique of cataract removal and IOL implantation done through a 0.9 mm incision is also covered.
EPresbyopia is the final frontier for an ophthalmologist. This in-depth book, developed with input from prominent doctors, paves the way for understanding this emerging topic. Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and residents will benefit from the insightful subject matter contained in this book.
