IOL Power
by Kenneth J. Hoffer, MD will be the definitive resource worldwide for ophthalmologists who strive to increase the accuracy for all IOL calculations,especially for multifocal IOLs and overcoming the challenges that arise when treating patients that have had laser refractive surgery, such as RK, PRK, LASIK, and LASEK.
Inside the pages of
, Dr. Hoffer is joined by some of the most respected international physicians and physicists in the field of IOL power such as Aramberri, Haigis, Norrby, Olsen and Shammas. Together their expertise, spanning over 35 years, makes even the most difficult subjects easy to understand.
This volume will become the definitive reference source on the subject of IOL power calculation.
Some topics include:
Ultrasound velocities for axial length measurement
Optical AL (IOLMaster and Lenstar) in difficult eyes
Manual and automatic keratometry and instrumentation
Topography & Scheimpflug camera corneal power
Value of theoretic formulas
Formula personalization
Multifocal and toric IOLs
Aspheric IOLs
Effect of IOL tilt on astigmatism
Chapters Cover:
All aspects of obtaining the most accurate biometry
Available modern calculation formulas
Latest instruments
Problems that can arise, how to prevent and repair them
by Kenneth J. Hoffer, MD is structured in a logical manner so as to cover every facet of IOL power from the basics to the most complicated subjects to achieve the most accurate and precise calculations and should be in the hands of all ophthalmic surgeons, technicians, residents and students.
