Corneal refractive surgeons are likely already familiar with the theory behind small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and the excellent postoperative outcomes it can achieve, but they were left without a thorough and comprehensive guide to performing the procedure, until now. The Surgeon's Guide to SMILE: Small Incision Lenticule Extraction is designed to provide surgeons who are interested in starting or are already performing SMILE with a detailed description of the preoperative assessment, surgical technique, and postoperative management of SMILE treatments. This book by Professor Dan Z. Reinstein, Mr. Timothy J. Archer, and Dr. Glenn I. Carp is designed as a surgical video-fellowshi...

The surgical correction of astigmatism is the last frontier to optimizing visual outcomes for patients. Practical Astigmatism: Planning and Analysis is a comprehensive guide to correcting astigmatism from pre-operative planning to post-operative analysis. This provides readers with unique insight to what actually happened surgically: did the astigmatism over or under correct? Was it on-axis or off-axis? With this book, ophthalmologists will be able to analyze previous procedures with the appropriate nomograms and more often achieve targeted outcomes. Dr. Noel Alpins has developed the Alpins Method of astigmatism to provide accurate planning and analysis of astigmatism procedures. His method ...
Covering all major components of the ocular system, this state-of-the-art text is essential for vision scientists, biomedical engineers, and advanced clinicians with an interest in the role of mechanics in ocular function, disease, therapeutics, and surgery. With every chapter, leading experts strengthen the arguments that biomechanics is an indispensable and rapidly evolving tool for understanding and managing ocular disease.
Textbook on Keratoconus introduces the latest developments and techniques for the treatment of keratoconus. The book begins with an introduction to the epidemiology, genetics and pathology of the condition, followed by detailed sections on its diagnosis and treatment. With contributions from numerous international ophthalmic experts, the text examines new surgical techniques such as intracorneal rings, phakic intraocular lenses, topographic guided photorefractive keratectomy, femtosecond laser corneal implants and collagen corneal cross-linking.
For ophthalmologists who are already using femtosecond lasers as well as those just starting out who are looking for the definitive reference manual, Femtosecond Lasers in Cornea and Lens Surgery is a comprehensive, cutting-edge guide to this technology that features a robust supplemental website with nearly 40 surgical videos. With the advent of small incision lenticule extraction, pockets and channels for corneal inlays and ring segments, femtosecond lasers for corneal surgery have advanced significantly over the past several decades, and ophthalmologists are looking for expert guidance on their acquisition, utilization, and optimization. With contributions from world-renowned surgeons who...
Phakic IOLs (intraocular lenses) are surgically implanted lenses used for the permanent correction of common vision errors such as myopia (short-sightedness). These implants, which resemble contact lenses, are placed either between the cornea (the clear lens in front of the eye) and the iris (the coloured part of the eye), or just behind the iris. This second edition provides a comprehensive review of the technology and clinical indication of phakic IOLs, their contraindications, how to handle surgical complications and practical issues in their use in refractive surgery. Divided into two parts, the first section discusses the basic principles of refractive surgery with phakic IOLs and the second part examines their implantation including for astigmatism correction, combined and additive procedures and new trends. Key Points Comprehensive review of technology and clinical indication of refractive surgery with phakic IOLs Examines basic principles and implantation techniques Authored by highly experienced ophthalmic specialists in Europe and the USA First edition published in 2003
While lecturing in recent months at a number of prominent institutions, I asked some of the residents and fellows whether and how they might benefit from a book on corneal biomechanics. The typical response was the look of a deer caught in the headlights as they tried to intuit the “appropriate” answer, but had little understanding or insight as to why this would be an important and useful knowledge base for them now, or in the future. I then posed the question differently. “Would a book that explained corneal biomechanical principles and testing devices and their application in detecting eyes at risk for developing keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia, understanding the biomechanical im...
Offering practical clinical guidance for early diagnosis and effective management, Keratoconus: Diagnosis and Management is a concise, easy-to-read guide to help mitigate loss of vision in patients in a way that does not interfere with quality of life. From early diagnosis and intervention through the most up-to-date treatment and surgical approaches, this consolidated reference covers the essential information needed by cornea fellows and specialists, general ophthalmologists, residents, and optometrists. - Provides expert, step-by-step guidance and real-world perspectives from global contributors in the field. - Covers the latest advances in cornea transplantation, corneal collagen cross-l...
