For ten years, she had hidden among the mercenaries. But now her latest mission was going awry. A crash landing was followed by one deadly mishap after another. The cougar cub Tsia had rescued from a storm refused to leave her -- even when she tried to send it away. Tsia could save the mission -- if she deliberately broke the Landing Pact to enter the mind of the cat and command his help. But if she was found out, punishment would be the loss of her biogate, her telepathic link with the felines. Her past was about to catch up with her, and only if she faced it -- and used it -- could she hope to forge a new future...with the cats!
Good vision is more than 20/20 on a Snellen visual acuity chart. The modern ophthalmologist understands that contrast sensitivity, near and distance vision, performance under light and dark conditions, and the brain’s interpretation of input from the sensory apparatus, are all important elements in patients’ quality of vision.
In Quality of Vision: Essential Optics for the Ophthalmic Surgeon, ophthalmologist and optics expert Dr. Jack T. Holladay explores the elements of vision that lie beyond Snellen testing. He explains the “whys” behind the machinery, instruments, technology, and procedures commonly used to assess vision before and after cataract and refractive surgery. With a better understanding of these tools, ophthalmologists can deliver better vision for their cataract and refractive surgery patients. Quality of Vision addresses: • Measuring and treating astigmatism in corneal and IOL surgery • The importance of correcting spherical aberration in cataract and refractive surgery • IOL calculations after refractive surgery • Promising approaches to the correction of presbyopia • Other practical topics the clinician can use every day Recognized as the leader in ophthalmic optics, Dr. Holladay incorporates practical aspects of daily practice into each chapter as he expertly explains the scientific principles, mathematical formulas, and theories behind these important issues. Additionally, Quality of Vision includes numerous color illustrations to provide visual representations of the text’s key points. Dr. Holladay discusses what’s on everyone’s mind: • How to take the best measurements and perform the best calculations to ensure good outcomes in cataract and refractive surgery • How neural adaptation can improve outcomes • How today’s excimer laser systems deliver excellent optical correction, and why tomorrow’s systems will perform even better Quality of Vision: Essential Optics for the Ophthalmic Surgeon is the most complete and practical reference for ophthalmologists looking to increase their understanding of optical physics and their ability to deliver good vision to their patients after cataract and refractive surgery.
Even the most experienced cataract surgeon can encounter stressful situations in the operating room. Be prepared to manage unavoidable complications with Phaco Nightmares: Conquering Cataract Catastrophes.
Dr. Amar Agarwal, along with over 35 of today’s cataract surgery leaders, explains all there is to know about phacoemulsification in Phaco Nightmares to help the cataract surgeon stay in control when facing unique and complicated surgical challenges. Some Phaco Nightmare cases include: • Subluxated cataracts • Managing dislocated lens fragments • Suprahard cataracts • Posterior polar cataracts • Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome • Posterior capsular rupture • Intraocular lens opacifcation • Infectious endophthalmitis • Miotic pupils Additionally, cutting edge information is included inside Phaco Nightmares on how to remove dropped endocapsular rings, nuclei or IOL’s. This distinctive book and video CD-ROM will make its mark with everyone involved in cataract surgery, from the resident to the experienced phaco surgeon. More than 300 illustrations and photographs supplement the important information presented, providing visual as well as textual references. Additional material and visual learning is achieved with an accompanying video CD-ROM with over 45 minutes of live video that demonstrates many of the techniques discussed inside the pages of Phaco Nightmares. Video CD-ROM Includes: • Sub 1 mm Cataract Surgery • Cliffhanger • Posterior Polar Cataract • Subluxated Cataract • Small Pupil • Incredible Disasters Feel competent and comfortable in the operating room, no matter what challenge comes your way with Phaco Nightmares: Conquering Cataract Catastrophes by your side.
