The editors of this book have compiled a major publication on the recent advances in ophthalmology. In the last decade the science of ophthalmology has made rapid strides – cataract surgery has improved with the development of new ultra small incision techniques, microphaco and the use of lasers, corneal and lens based refractive surgery now offers patients a range of treatments, and ophthalmic surgery itself is now elective in most cases.

This major work provides 88 articles by internationally known contributors giving fully up-to-date information on developments within the diverse disciplines of ophthalmology. This book should be on the shelf of every major medical library and in the possession of every practising ophthalmologist.

NB. It also contains a posthumous tribute to Dr. C. D. Kelman, the father of phacoemulsification.
