Reviews
The book is very practically oriented and is directed toward practically.....is still readable and clear.....I would recommend it to medical students and general practitioners as well as trainee ophthalmologists for whom it will be particularly useful. This is an impressive work that I will retain as a desk reference in my own practice for ophthalmological issues that may arise. I would say most doctors would benefit greatly from having access to it. --Seamus Sweeney, MD, Eurotimes The Handbook of Ophthalmology fills the gap between single topic texts and overly large and difficult to handle ophthalmological atlases by presenting just the basic facts in an easy to handle, nearly pocket-sized book that you can carry with you. As such, the Handbook of Ophthalmology is an essential reference guide that will be of particular interest to ophthalmology students and residents, as well members of other eye care professions and motivated lay readers or patients seeking information about spec
The wealth of information found in this easy-to-use book compares favorably to that seen in more comprehensive textbooks. If you need information quickly, neatly, and concisely, this soft-covered handbook is for you. <br><br>-- Leonid Skorin, Jr., DO, Ocular Surgery News
Author Information
Amar Agarwal, MS, FRCS, FRCOphth is the pioneer of Phakonit, which is phako with needle incision technology. This technique became popularized as bimanual phaco, microincision cataract surgery (MICS), or microphaco. He is also the first to remove cataracts through a 0.7-mm tip by the technique called microphakonit. He has also discovered no-anesthesia cataract surgery and FAVIT, a new technique to remove dropped nuclei. The air pump, which was the simple idea of using an aquarium pump to increase the fluid into the eye in bimanual phaco and coaxial phaco, has helped prevent surge. This built the basis of various techniques of forced infusion for small incision cataract surgery. He was also the first to use trypan blue for staining epiretinal membranes and has published the details in his 4-volume textbook of ophthalmology. His latest discovery is a new refractive error called aberropia. Dr. Agarwal has received many awards for his work in ophthalmology, the most significant being the Barraquer Award and the Kelman Award. He has also written more than 25 books, which have been published in various languages. He also trains doctors from all over the world on phaco, bimanual phaco, LASIK, and retina at his eye center in India.
