Cataract extraction is the most common major surgical operation. Recent advanced in lens implantation have improved visual standards and heightened patients' expectations, bringing with them a need for change in technique and for surgeons to learn new methods such as intercapsular surgery. The purpose of this new Atlas is to explain, in pictorial form, the options now available, the reasoning behind change and the management of problems and complications. It is intended both for "ophthalmic surgeons" who need up-to-date information on the very latest techniques and for trainees requiring guidance on a new and fast-changing field.
