The topic of the third volume of the series in "Essentials in Ophthalmology" is cataract and refractive surgery, a realm of ophthalmic care that has undergone revolutionary changes in the past 10 years. Worldwide, the removal of the opaque crystalline lens is the most frequently performed surgical intervention in the human body, and refractive surgery encompasses an increasing array of procedures with rapidly growing surgical volumes. The goal of the editors of this book has been to provide up-to-date clinically relevant overviews and to highlight the most interesting fields of research and controversy. Many of these topics pertain also to cataract surgery, indicating the merging of technologies that is occurring in these two major ophthalmic subspecialties. The well-structured text is quick and easy to read making this book indispensable for continuous education and advanced training.

Review

From the reviews:

"In August 2004, the second volume of the series on cataract and refractive surgery came out. There is virtually no other subspecialty in ophthalmology in which new knowledge influences daily clinical practice as rapidly as in cataract and refractive surgery. Thus, a book giving a comprehensive and critical overview over new developments ... is appreciated by all ophthalmologists who are interested or work in this field. ... With this second volume of the series Essentials in Ophthamology, the editors successfully combine the advantages of review articles ... ." (J. B�hren, Ophthalmologica, Vol. 219 (4), 2005)

"This hardcover monograph edited by Thomas Kohnen and Douglas Koch covers the majority of new ideologies within the subject. There are 19 carefully selected chapters ... covering the essential changes and advances in the current evidence base of the discipline. ... I can thoroughly recommend this text to the general ophthalmologist keeping up with changes, to the researcher looking for references and place at the front end of refractive surgery, and to the aspiring young refractive surgeon ... ." (Frank Howes, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Issue 244, 2006)
