Cataract Surgery CD-ROM: The State of the Art

Cataract Surgery CD-ROM: The State of the Art provides a comprehensive look at this ever-challenging procedure by surgical experts, led by world renowned surgeon, Dr. I. Howard Fine.

Drs. Fine, Packer and Hoffman have carefully selected 28 different surgical videos demonstrating techniques such as IOL Insertion, Stromal Hydration, Limbal Relaxing Incisions, and Capsular Tension Ring and presented them in a straightforward fashion for the viewer to get the maximum exposure to each procedure. Invaluable audio narration follows each step of every procedure, and is spoken by the authors themselves, providing the user with accurate knowledge of what is happening. The authors describe their approach to all aspects of lenticular surgery including clear lensectomy, the use of power modulations and why they are important, as well as insight on how lowering the total amount of energy into the eye has resulted in clearer corneas and faster and better uncorrected visual activity in the intermediate postoperative period. Their technique for routine cataract surgery shows why it can also be used in any difficult or challenging case without any alteration in technique. The authors’ techniques are easy to emulate because they don’t involve any intraocular gymnastics and are uniform and consistent in all instances. This CD-ROM gives a unified, consistent approach to lens surgery that is useful in each and every situation an ophthalmologist will face.
