The selection of appropriate formulas and surgical techniques is vitally important to best fulfill each patient's visual needs and expectations. With over 30 years of experience, H. John Shammas, MD clearly explains the importance of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations during preoperative cataract evaluation and their role in positively improving surgical outcomes. Intraocular Lens Power Calculations addresses both currently used and the latest, more advanced formulas. To fully understand the application of these formulas in various situations, thorough explanations are provided. Numerous highlighted clinical applications, case reports, figures, and tables are also utilized to illustrate and reinforce key points. This well-organized text contains the most up-to-date information on axial length measurement, biometry units, constants, and ways to avoid errors. IOL power calculations and selection are included for an array of conditions ranging from the normal phakic eye to the more challenging high myopic and high hyperopic eyes, piggyback implantation, intumescent cataract, and the aphakic eye. Intraocular Lens Power Calculations updates surgeons, technicians, and students on all the techniques and formulas available to achieve the most accurate and precise calculations, thus paving the way for surgical results that fulfill patients' visual needs. Topics Include: New formulas including Holladay, Olsen, and Haigis IOL power calculations after corneal refractive surgery Calculating for emmetropia and iseikonia High precision A-scan biometry B-mode guided biometry Optical coherence biometry Selecting the proper IOL power

IOL Power by Kenneth J. Hoffer, MD will be the definitive resource worldwide for ophthalmologists who strive to increase the accuracy for all IOL calculations,especially for multifocal IOLs and overcoming the challenges that arise when treating patients that have had laser refractive surgery, such as RK, PRK, LASIK, and LASEK. Inside the pages of IOL Power, Dr. Hoffer is joined by some of the most respected international physicians and physicists in the field of IOL power such as Aramberri, Haigis, Norrby, Olsen and Shammas. Together their expertise, spanning over 35 years, makes even the most difficult subjects easy to understand. This volume will become the definitive reference source on the subject of IOL power calculation. Some topics include: Ultrasound velocities for axial length measurement Optical AL (IOLMaster and Lenstar) in difficult eyes Manual and automatic keratometry and instrumentation Topography & Scheimpflug camera corneal power Value of theoretic formulas Formula personalization Multifocal and toric IOLs Aspheric IOLs Effect of IOL tilt on astigmatism Chapters Cover: All aspects of obtaining the most accurate biometry Available modern calculation formulas Latest instruments Problems that can arise, how to prevent and repair them IOL Power by Kenneth J. Hoffer, MD is structured in a logical manner so as to cover every facet of IOL power from the basics to the most complicated subjects to achieve the most accurate and precise calculations and should be in the hands of all ophthalmic surgeons, technicians, residents and students.

This book explores the development, optics and physiology of astigmatism and places this knowledge in the context of modern management of this aspect of refractive error. It is written by, and aimed at, the astigmatism practitioner to assist in understanding astigmatism and its amelioration by optical and surgical techniques. It also addresses the integration of astigmatism management into the surgical approach to cataract and corneal disease including corneal transplantation.

Pediatric Cataract Surgery and IOL Implantation: A Case Based Guide is a must-have resource for ophthalmologists, surgeons, residents, and fellows who work with pediatric cataracts and their surgical management as well as ancillary readers such as parents or supportive caregivers to a child with cataracts. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology of pediatric cataract surgery and considerations surrounding IOL implantation. It addresses pre-operative evaluation and examination, as well as surgical steps and techniques for various pediatric cataract conditions. Chapters begin with an introduction and are followed by discussions that offer expert viewpoints and case studies. In addition, chapters illustrate the complexity of the management of pediatric lens opacities. The book closes with a case-based approach to special considerations in IOL implantation: including considerations in the uveitic patient, placement without capsular support, and cataract surgery in the developing world. Providing thoughtful chapters that seek to expand on the currently available literature without redundancy, this book a solid companion piece to any other text discussing pediatric cataracts.

​The second edition of The Scrub's Bible is a timely, comprehensive resource, which will include extensive chapter and content updates, along with 50 new images and drawings. Updated sections will delve into subjects of endothelial transplantation, as well as cataract surgery and new medical and technological developments: femtosecond lasers, innovations in premium lens implant technologies, optiwave refractive analysis, and combined glaucoma and cataract surgery. Additional extensive chapter updates in the surgical tray, self-assessment, and corneal transplantation will be described in great detail as well. ​Directed at the growing number of untutored personnel aspiring to enter the disciplines of ophthalmic technicianry and surgical assisting, ​The Scrub's Bible, 2nd edition remains a key entry level guide to understanding the human eye, its basic anatomy, and physiology. Absorbing this information serves as the foundation for the authors, who are all skilled and respected eye surgeons, educators, and surgery center owners, to draw the reader through the fundamentals of the two most common areas of ophthalmic surgery: cataract and corneal/refractive surgery. The Scrub's Bible​ 2nd edition will build upon the first edition--remaining an easy-to-read tool that is broken down into discreet and understandable elements, meant to avoid the intimidating rhetoric of a standard reference.
