A must for persons having cataract surgery,
This review is from: Cataracts: The Complete Guide, from Diagnosis to Recovery, for Patients and Families (Paperback)
I strongly recommend this book for anyone considering cataract surgery. I wish I had read it before having surgery, I would have had a much better idea of what was going on. The illustrations are very clear and the writers sense of humor is appreciated. Also, the short history of cataract surgery makes one feel lucky to be living today with surgeons having so many sophisticated tools.

This review is from: Cataracts: The Complete Guide, from Diagnosis to Recovery, for Patients and Families (Paperback)
Having recently been diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes, I needed to understand what to expect for my future vision and upcoming surgeries/procedures. While the edition of the book that I purchased was published in 1993 (thus making it's discussions on "advanced surgical techniques" antiquated), it gave a remarkable overview of how the eye works and what causes cataracts. History of cataract surgery and the physicians who contributed to its advancement are well documented, as well. The author did a wonderful job of speaking to his audience with respect and compassion. He used language for the lay person, all the while educating readers. I will keep this book as a reference in walking me through the various stages of my journey to save my vision.
