Advances in Cataract Surgery

Expert Commentary

The patients' as well as the doctors' expectations are ever increasing. Twenty years ago, cataract surgery's main aim was that of visual rehabilitation. Today, cataract surgery is also becoming a refractive procedure with relatively few side effects and excellent safety and efficacy.
