About this title

Review:

"I learned more about phacoemulsification surgery (in this book) than in all previous course time. The text is brilliantly illustrated. The diagrams amplify and refine the written paragraphs. This is a book that every cataract surgeon must review. This book has my highest recommendation. I wish I had written it."

— Frederick S. Brightbill, MD Archives of Ophthalmology

"The other books tell you what to do. This book tells you why and how. The illustrations are superb, demonstrating clearly how phacoemulsification works and why some maneuvers must, necessarily, work better than others. This book is critical if you want to master the art and science of phacoemulsification."

— Paul S. Koch, MD, Koch Eye Associates, Warwick, RI

"This book will be utilized best by that cataract surgeon who wants to truly understand the technology that he holds in his hands. I am sure that this added level of comprehension would easily enhance any cataract surgeons capabilities."

— Leonid Skorin, Jr., MD, DO, FAOCO, Journal of the Osteopathic College of Ophthalmology and Otorhinolaryngology
