The formulas are presented in a simplistic manner, which allows one to grasp the development of the formulas without having to be lost in the minutiae of the math. I found this book to be excellent in all its aspects. I highly recommend it to all. It would be an asset to residents in training as well as practicing ophthalmologists. -- George H.H.

Author Information

H. John Shammas, MD is a clinical professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Southern California, The Keck School of Medicine in Los Angeles, California, and the medical director of the Shammas Eye Medical Center and M/S Surgery Center in Lynwood, California. As an ophthalmologist, Dr. Shammas has two major areas of interest; the first one is ophthalmic ultrasonography. He wrote his first textbook, Atlas of Ophthalmic Ultrasonography and Biometry in 1984, the second one, Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Tomography of the Eye in 1998, and edited his third one, Ultrasound in Ophthalmology, in 2000. His second area of interest is cataract surgery and how to improve its outcome. In 1991, he co-authored Color Atlas of Ophthalmic Surgery: Cataracts with Richard Kratz, MD. The combination of these two areas of interest can only lead to the subject of biometry and IOL power calculations. Dr. Shammas has published multiple articles in the American and international literature on axial length measurement and intraocular lens power calculations. As an ophthalmic surgeon, patient satisfaction is very important to him, and avoiding errors in IOL power calculations has been a primary focus of his research studies. He self-published a book on the subject in 1996. Lately, he has focused his research on those cases that had previous refractive surgery, and Chapter 18 is dedicated to this subject. This book represents the latest developments on the subject and the author's personal experience during the past 25 years.
