Visual Optics and Refraction: A Clinical Approach

The last decade has seen a rapid increase in the use of intraocular lenses for the management of aphakia. New materials, new lens forms, new techniques, and revised indications are put forward almost daily, and the ophthalmologist has often to keep a cool head during this bombardment. This comprehensive, well-illustrated book goes a long way towards sorting out some of the confusion that has been created by these rapid developments and is to be thoroughly recommended. Its value is enhanced by the excellence of its illustrations. There are photographs and simple diagrams throughout, so that the book serves not only as a discussion on the history and basic principles of intraocular lens implantation but also as a manual of surgery describing the different operative techniques that need be applied for the individual lens forms. Although the author's bias towards intraocular lenses is obvious, the contraindications and complications are discussed fairly and in depth, and the bibliography is comprehensive. One has come to expect high standards from German ophthalmic textbooks, and this volume is no exception. It should be essential reading for all eye surgeons, not only those committed to this new branch of surgery.
