Presbyopia: A Surgical Textbook

In the 21st century, the latest developments in ophthalmic surgery are in the field of presbyopia. This dynamic book not only presents the concepts necessary to understand presbyopia, but also offers the surgical possibilities for treating the condition. It is the ideal resource for ophthalmologists who currently perform presbyopic treatment as well as those who desire to move into it. Dr. Amar Agarwal and his contributors have created a complete, thorough book about the management of this condition. It covers the scleral, corneal, and lenticular modifications 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 through a 0.9-mm incision by phakonit followed by IOL implantation is also covered. Presbyopia is ophthalmology's new frontier. 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.
