101 Pearls In Refractive, Cataract, And Corneal Surgery

Drs. Melki and Azar follow the same format as with their previous edition in that the information is organized as a condensed summary of key pearls and pitfalls of challenging surgical procedures in refractive, cataract, and corneal surgery. Focusing on practical tips rather than theoretical aspects of surgical procedures, and including clear illustrations of techniques, 101 Pearls in Refractive, Cataract, and Corneal Surgery, Second Edition is a user-friendly, straightforward guide to surgical success. Each pearl will enhance surgical outcomes, reduce surgical time, minimize complications, or simplify a complicated step.

Reviews:

Though there are sections about cataract surgery, this excellent book will probably appeal to a pretty limited group of Eye M.D.s due to the subspecialization. It is aimed at people performing anterior segment surgery, but who do corneal and refractive surgery as well. Useful tips include gluing corneal ulcers and perfs, PTK, and PRK and LASIK. There are also tips for full-thickness grafts. Very useful and highly recommended. I hope the authors come out with a new edition in the future.
