Download or read book Viscoelastics in Ophthalmic Surgery written by H.B. Dick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It will be difficult to find an ophthalmic surgeon who will gladly do his work entirely without viscoelastics. Within just a few years this group of substances has enlarged the field of ophthalmic surgery enormously. Many procedures have be come safer and simpler and other techniques could only be developed because of the availability of visco elastics. Especially cataract surgery and implantation of intraocular lenses have benefitted. Implantation of an intraocular lens can be per formed much more reliably into the capsular bag without endangering the posterior capsule. Implantation of foldable lenses would be almost impossible without visco elastics. However, other surgical maneuvers also necessitate visco elastics, especially when the anterior chamber must be maintained, the corneal endothelium must be protected and delicate tissues must be manipulated. A cor neal transplant can be sutured safely into the recipient corneal ring using visco elastics. Even in glaucoma surgery, visco elastics gain importance as they are being used in trabeculectomy or in deep sclerectomy with additional viscocana lostomy. But which substance is best for which purpose? Just as much as a basic phar macological knowledge is necessary for a rational use of drugs, in-depth know ledge of physicochemical properties and objective investigations are prerequi sites for a logical selection of visco elastics from an ever increasing number of available substances.

Download or read book Pediatric Cataract written by Siddharth Agrawal and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-12 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers all clinical aspects of pediatric cataract surgery. Chapters cover basic sciences, etiology, pre-operative evaluation, choice of intraocular lenses, steps of surgery, complications, considerations in traumatic cataract and post-operative rehabilitation. It includes photographs, diagrams, flow charts and tables for easy memorization and understanding. Multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter help to evaluate the understanding and reinforce important concepts. The book aims to encourage ophthalmic surgeons to successfully treat children with cataract as all of them perform adult cataract surgeries but usually avoid managing pediatric cases. This hesitation is primarily due to exhaustive pre-operative evaluation and long term follow up. As a result the back log of this disease in the developing world is significant and many such children are unable to receive timely intervention during their crucial period of visual development. The chapters primarily focus on the clinically relevant issues to keep the reader interested. The book includes contributions from some of the most talented and experienced pediatric cataract surgeons. The book is relevant for ophthalmologists not commonly practicing pediatric cataract surgery and post graduate students.

Book excerpt: O. HOCKWIN Just as Professor Hoffmann, the Chairman of the symposium on "Vis coelastic Substances", I should like to bid all participants a cordial wel come and thank you for your support in coming here. I should like to emphasize that it is your presence that is one of the most important pre requisites of this symposium, namely to form an expert forum in which clinical and experimental ophthalmology, the pharmaceutical industry and the authorities concerned with health and drugs from various states are represented. The subject matter can be dealt with from various points of view. I sincerely hope that everyone will make full use of this opportu nity of exchanging expert opinions. There will be an excellent chance of doing so in particular in the round-table conversation after lunch. I especially wish to thank all lecturers for their willingness to present the facts arising from their comprehensive knowledge and great experi ence which, after all, are necessary in respect of the classification of vis coelastic substances as therapeuticals on the one hand or medical devices on the other, and also to present these with expertise and to advise on the matter and to furnish a concluding commentary or recommendations. On the basis of examples of use in ophthalmology on which we will be informed in the morning session, we must firstly pay increased atten tion to the properties of the viscoelastic substances.
