The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness
Author David De Angelis’s search for a cure for nearsightedness was both professional and personal, since he suffered from the disease himself. An expert in muscular work dynamics, he discovered through extensive testing and an immersion in decades of scientific studies that working the extrinsic ocular muscles could preserve sight and re-educate the eyes toward better vision. He came to understand the importance of retinal defocus for transforming ocular refractive status. In this book, the author shares both the science and the “secret”–progressive retinal defocus technique–of how he was able to reverse his own myopia. The system’s efficacy, he says, comes from the fact that it directly intervenes with the causes that generate myopia onset and development (overaccommodative/near-point stress). When adequately stimulated by the simple exercises presented in the book, ocular refractive capability leads to gradual strengthening of focusing capability and gradual decreasing of refractive error. Written in straightforward language, and featuring an extensive section on the scientific research in this field, The Secret of Perfect Vision offers a proven program of healing to the millions of people afflicted with this condition..

Mastering Refractive IOLs: The Art and Science
The availability of new presbyopia-correcting and toric IOLs along with the CMS ruling allowing Medicare patients to pay a premium to upgrade to them, has dramatically and permanently altered clinical practice for every cataract and refractive surgeon.
Facing the challenge of educating patients about these options, as well as managing and meeting their expectations, today’s clinicians more than ever need to share knowledge, experience, and advice with their ophthalmic colleagues.
Dr. David F. Chang and his associate editors, Drs. Steven J. Dell, Warren E. Hill, Richard L. Lindstrom, and Kevin L. Waltz, have assembled a “Who’s Who” team of more than 200 refractive IOL experts to create Mastering Refractive IOLs: The Art and Science, a must-have book and reference for all cataract and refractive surgeons—whether you are already implanting a high volume of refractive IOLs or just starting to offer them.
The IOL technical specifications, the clinical data, and the necessary clinical and surgical skills comprise the scientific foundation for achieving a “premium” refractive outcome. To consistently achieve patient satisfaction, however, requires mastering the art of patient and IOL selection, communicating and counseling effectively, and providing a “premium” patient experience.
This is a nontraditional book in which multiple experts are separately asked to discuss controversial subjects in a reader-friendly format. There is balanced coverage of all of the available refractive IOLs, as well as those that may become available in the near future. A major emphasis is placed on avoiding and managing complications or potentially dissatisfied patients.
Mastering Refractive IOLs: The Art and Science has more than 200 chapters that are organized into 14 major sections, over 750 images, over100 tables, and 11 sidebars that cover every aspect of refractive IOL clinical practice.
Major sections include:
• Why Offer Premium IOLs
• Transitioning to Presbyopia-Correcting IOLs
• Transitioning to Presbyopia-Correcting IOLs: Quick Start Guides
• Presbyopia-Correcting IOLs Today
• Presbyopia-Correcting IOLs in the fFture
• Refractive IOLs—Quality of Vision
• Patient Selection & Education
• Presbyopia-Correcting IOL Selection
• Preoperative Ocular Assessment
• Managing Astigmatism
• Premium Cataract Surgery
• Refractive Lens Exchange
• Enhancements
• Complications—Avoidance and Management
Mastering Refractive IOLs: The Art and Science is the most comprehensive educational resource addressing the most demanding and rapidly evolving area in cataract and refractive surgery today and the first book to cover both the clinical and nonclinical aspects of offering refractive IOL services.

Intraocular Lens Power Calculations
The selection of appropriate formulas and surgical techniques is vitally important to best fulfill each patient's visual needs and expectations With over 30 years of experience, H. John Shammas, MD clearly explains the importance of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations during preoperative cataract evaluation and their role in positively improving surgical outcomes. Intraocular Lens Power Calculations addresses both currently used and the latest, more advanced formulas. To fully understand the application of these formulas in various situations, thorough explanations are provided. Numerous highlighted clinical applications, case reports, figures, and tables are also utilized to illustrate and reinforce key points. This well-organized text contains the most up-to-date information on axial length measurement, biometry units, constants, and ways to avoid errors. IOL power calculations and selection are included for an array of conditions ranging from the normal phakic eye to the more challenging high myopic and high hyperopic eyes, piggyback implantation, intumescent cataract, and the aphakic eye. Intraocular Lens Power Calculations updates surgeons, technicians, and students on all the techniques and formulas available to achieve the most accurate and precise calculations, thus paving the way for surgical results that fulfill patients' visual needs.
Topics Include: - New formulas including Holladay, Olsen, and Haigis
- IOL power calculations after corneal refractive surgery
- Calculating for emmetropia and iseikonia
- High precision A-scan biometry
- B-mode guided biometry
- Optical coherence biometry
- Selecting the proper IOL power
