Phaco emulsification is the most common technique used in cataract removal
surgery. It requires dispersal of the content of the cataract by breaking it
down using ultrasound and then sucking out the matter, leaving the clear lens
capsule in place. "Phaco Without The Phaco" describes the latest cataract
removal techniques which extract the whole lens, and the techniques for
subsequent replacement lens insertion. It explores a number of techniques all
aimed at the same objective - to safely remove the whole contents of the lens
through the smallest possible incision - without requiring any machine other
than the surgeon's brain, hands and simple instruments. This volume contains
contributions from the biggest names worldwide in eye surgery, and to quote Dr
David McIntyre "This is the book that has begged to be produced! More than any
other, this volume should be required reading for ophthalmic surgeons."
