Product Description

Product Description
The book is divided into three sections:

The first section covers basic materials (from choice of suture materials to why powdered gloves can cause latex allergy), instruments (such as why scissors are right or left handed) and basic techniques (for example, how to deliberately tie a slip knot and how to avoid doing so accidentally!).

The second section covers local anaesthetic agents and techniques.

The third section describes the most commonly performed operations and the complications that may be encountered including how to avoid and how to deal with them.

There are also chapters that deal with the highly important but often neglected topics of biometry and orbital and lens implant biomaterials and design. Throughout, the scientific basis has been emphasized where possible.

Professionals who work with ophthalmic patients such as nursing staff and optometrists will also find a clear description of the commonly performed procedures to be of interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars essential ophthalmic surgery by AJE Foss, 22 Nov 2003
By zahid kamal (stirling, stirlingshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
It was a long awaited writing for the ophthalmic trainees. it is written in simple language, tells the basics of the commonly performed surgical procedures. Diagrams are very nice. the volume of the book is very compact and price reasonable. There are few procedures missing like cyclocryotherapy cyclo-diode and temporal artery biopsy, which may be included in a future editions.I would recommend it to be in bag of every resident and in shelf of every general ophthalmologist.
