Illustrative Guide to Cataract Surgery by Editor, Dr. Amar Agarwal and Associate Editor, Soosan Jacob is a unique book that includes matching step-by-step clinical photographs, medical illustrations, and videos to explain the most common techniques and steps in cataract surgery. With more than 650 illustrations, ophthalmologists and residents will visually learn the most essential procedures in cataract surgery, step-by-step.
The content, comprised from leading ophthalmic surgeons, is structured into systematically divided sections such as phaco surgery, microincision cataract surgery, challenging cases, and complications. It allows for quick reference, without having to search through voluminous books. Each image is supplemented with concise, informative text that helps further explain the techniques.
In addition, video instruction is offered through a companion website, with each book purchase. Using the same approach as the book, the website presents videos that match each technique or step in cataract surgery.
Just a few of the procedures explained:
• Vertical chopping
• Biaxial microincisional cataract surgery
• Posterior polar cataract
• Iris hooks in small pupil phaco
• Subluxated cataracts
• Torn rhexis
• Glued IOL implantation
• Intraocular lens implantation
With a combination of matching photos and illustrations alongside brief text and companion website, Illustrative Guide to Cataract Surgery stands apart from traditional books.
“With a combination of matching photos and illustrations alongside brief text and companion website, Illustrative Guide to Cataract Surgery stands apart from traditional books as a pictorial pathway to cataract surgery. Agarwal and Jacob have produced a masterful guide to cataract surgery, a step-by-step approach to refining surgical skills. Their well-balanced presentation covers not only routine cataract surgery, but also the management of problematic cataracts and IOL complications.”

“This illustrative guide to cataract surgery is an excellent book for ophthalmology residents starting to learn phaco surgery. Compared to most other books in the field, the images in this book are among the very best, with very helpful side-by-side or video screenshots and hand-drawn color drawings of each step of surgery…I recommend this book to my residents.”
