Reviews

From the reviews:

"In August 2004, the second volume of the series on cataract and refractive surgery came out. There is virtually no other subspecialty in ophthalmology in which new knowledge influences daily clinical practice as rapidly as in cataract and refractive surgery. Thus, a book giving a comprehensive and critical overview over new developments … is appreciated by all ophthalmologists who are interested or work in this field. … With this second volume of the series Essentials in Ophthamology, the editors successfully combine the advantages of review articles … ." (J. Bühren, Ophthalmologica, Vol. 219 (4), 2005)

"This hardcover monograph edited by Thomas Kohnen and Douglas Koch covers the majority of new ideologies within the subject. There are 19 carefully selected chapters … covering the essential changes and advances in the current evidence base of the discipline. … I can thoroughly recommend this text to the general ophthalmologist keeping up with changes, to the researcher looking for references and place at the front end of refractive surgery, and to the aspiring young refractive surgeon … ." (Frank Howes, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Issue 244, 2006)
