Zusammenfassung:Throughout the world cataract affects at least fifty million people, and until recent times the only relief was through the surgeon's knife and thick spectacles. With the current changes in the approach to cataract treatment, the optometrist's role in the early detection and management of cataract is crucial. The introduction of anti-cataract agents which slow down or arrest cataract development will make early detection even more important
This book, written specifically for the optometrist, covers all aspects of cataract from the optometric point of view. It provides essential background information of interest to the optometrist and expands to cover in more detail aspects of clinical management which have changed, or come to the fore, in the last five years. The introduction outlines the extent of the problem now and in the future
This is followed by chapters on biochemistry of the crystalline lens, cataract classification, new techniques and an ophthalmological point of view. The optical correction of the aphakic eye is also covered. The final chapter looks at the medical treatment of cataract by drugs and other agents
