Cataract surgery is the most common operation globally, but training in cataract surgery can be haphazard and inconsistent. Lessons in Cataract Surgery is for Ophthalmology residents starting their journey in cataract surgery. The book is a step-by-step guide in consenting patients for surgery, preparing them correctly in the anaesthetic room then operating. The procedure is detailed throughout, with essential tips to get every part of the surgery right. Special focus is given to more challenging cases, as these typically help drive home the importance of the basic technique.

Key Features:

- Teaches how to prepare the patient for surgery and perform the operation through clear illustrations

- Explains the know-how for performing cataract surgery to beginner ophthalmologists and surgeons

- Provides a rationale for each step using basic principles
