Cataracts are a very common condition whereby the lens of the eye becomes cloudy causing blurred vision. Over time, a cataract can get worse, eventually leading to blindness if untreated. Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness worldwide. Phacoemulsification surgery is the most widely used method for cataract management. Simplified Phacoemulsification is a step by step guide to the complete technique of phacoemulsification. Beginning with an introduction to the anatomy and development of the lens, patient selection and the phacoemulsification machine used in the procedure, the following chapters describe the complete process from anaesthesia, suturing and incision, through the different basic and technical aspects of the technique. The final section examines instruments used for phaco surgery. Written in an easy to read, short note format, this comprehensive manual includes more than 280 full colour images and figures to enhance learning.

The slit lamp is an instrument consisting of a high-intensity light source that can be focused to shine a thin sheet of light into the eye. It is used in conjunction with a biomicroscope. The lamp facilitates an examination of the anterior segment, or frontal structures and posterior segment of the eye. The binocular slit-lamp examination provides a stereoscopic magnified view of the eye structures enabling anatomical diagnoses to be made for a variety of eye conditions. This book is a comprehensive guide to the use of slit lamp biomicroscopy for assessment in cataract surgery, with emphasis on preoperative examination. Divided into three sections, it begins with detail on types of cataract related to different anatomical regions of the eye. The second section discusses cataracts according to aetiology, such as diabetic cataract, traumatic cataract and steroid-induced cataract; whilst the final section examines cataracts with numerous associated conditions. Each chapter summarises key points for quick revision and nearly 550 images and illustrations enhance learning. Key points Guide to the use of slit lamp biomicroscopy for assessment in cataract surgery Covers cataracts related to anatomy, aetiology and associated disorders Each chapter includes key learning points Highly illustrated with numerous images and diagrams
