Femtolaser Cataract Surgery


Book Description

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures worldwide. In traditional cataract surgery, the surgeon uses handheld instruments and a scalpel blade. This manual approach limits predictability and precision, potentially affecting visual outcomes and complication rates. Femtolaser surgery allows surgeons to access and remove a cataract with far greater accuracy, much faster and causing little or no discomfort to the patient (Omni Eye Services). This book is a comprehensive guide to femtolaser cataract surgery. Beginning with an introduction to the procedure, the following chapters examine various laser systems currently used in practice, comparing their technologies, techniques, benefits and potential complications. Written by an internationally recognised author and editor team, this invaluable manual includes more than 400 clinical photographs, illustrations and tables. Key points Complete guide to femtolaser cataract surgery Describes and compares different laser systems used in daily practice Internationally recognised author and editor team Includes more than 400 clinical photographs, illustrations and tables

Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery


Book Description

This book, in a concise format, explains how to perform manual small incision cataract surgery. The procedure is broken down into the chief elements and described in a step by step manner. Besides the description of the procedure, the book covers indications, necessary supplies, preparation, complication management, and postoperative care. The authors are experts from around the world, and the book will be of value both for surgeons new to this technique and for experienced surgeons who need a review of the procedure. While phacoemulsification surgery has now become the standard of care, understanding how to perform manual extracapsular cataract extractions competently is crucial when faced with complications during phacoemulsification surgery, when operating in a region of the world without access to phacoemulsification or femtosecond lasers, or when a manual approach may be a better choice for the patient.




Step by Step Phacoemulsification


Book Description

Since phacoemulsification is the norm for cataract surgery today, it is essential that the basic steps for this established procedure are mastered by all. In this concise text, the illustrious Drs. Agarwal - Sunita, Athiya and Amar - teach the reader step by step techniques and procedures that make it possible to extract a cataract and implant a lens through the smallest of incisions. In addition to the basics, the authors cover no-anesthesia cataract surgery and the management of complications like dropped nuclei. Clearly presented and easy to follow, Step by Step Phaco is prescribed reading for all involved in the routine of cataract surgery.




Femtosecond Laser: Techniques and Technology


Book Description

The book Femtosecond Laser: Techniques and Technology provides complete insight of Femtosecond Laser technology in various ocular indications. Refractive Surgery technology has undergone rapid advancements and innovations in last two decades. Femtosecond Laser offers new possibilities in the field of minimally invasive corneal surgery. It employs near infrared pulses to cut tissue with minimal collateral tissue damage. The highly localized tissue effect of low energy Femtosecond Laser shall expand the capabilities and precision of this technology in near future and may be used to create three-dimensional intrastromal resection with micron precision. Femtosecond laser is a simple, rapid reliable and efficient method in ophthalmology with satisfactory results for effective lens position and refractive outcome. Femtosecond laser is enjoying rapid growth in the area of cataract surgery. The Femtosecond Laser has proved its versatility in Lamellar keratoplasty, customized trephination in penetrating keratoplasty, tunnel creation for intracorneal ring segments, astigmatic keratotomy for keratoprostheses, non-invasive trans-scleral glaucoma surgery, retinal imaging presbyopic surgery and cataract surgery. Advances in ultrafast laser technology continued to improve the surgical safety, efficiency, speed and versatility of Femtosecond Lasers in Ophthalmology. Femtosecond Laser finds application in anterior and posterior segment indications of ophthalmology.
