Managing cataracts to the best advantage of the glaucoma should result in the best long-term visual outcomes for patients.
Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures in the United States, and cataracts are a leading cause of visual impairment in the world and glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. The coexistence of these two diseases is not uncommon and management of the cataract in the context of glaucoma can have significant impact on the glaucoma status of a patient.
This second edition book focuses on the treatment of cataract in the setting of glaucoma, using an evidence-based medicine approach. This new edition includes updates to all 23 chapters from the previous edition plus new chapters on combined cataract and express surgery, as well as expanded chapters on new approaches to managing glaucoma along with cataract.
Cataract Surgery in the Glaucoma Patient is a valuable resource for general ophthalmologists and residents as well as glaucoma fellows.
