About this volume A New History of Cataract Surgery: Concepts which Began in the 19th and early 20th Centuries

From the earliest crude attempts at cataract extraction to the modern advancements in phacoemulsification, this book explores the fascinating history of cataract surgery and ophthalmic anesthesia. Covering innovations from Jacques Daviel's pioneering techniques in the 18th century to the rise of topical and intracameral anesthesia in the 20th century, this book provides an in-depth look at the evolution of surgical approaches, anesthesia methods, and postoperative care.

This meticulously researched volume is ideal for ophthalmologists, anesthesiologists, medical historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of eye surgery. With detailed accounts of pivotal moments in ophthalmic history-including the advent of intraocular lenses, prophylaxis for endophthalmitis, and early iridectomy procedures-this book offers an essential resource for both medical professionals and enthusiasts of surgical history.
