Description
This well-known guide to eye surgery in resource-poor countries focuses on the management of common and blinding diseases, notably the surgical treatment of cataract, glaucoma, and the eyelid complications of trachoma.

Introductory chapters on basic principles such as theatre equipment and anaesthesia are followed by chapters devoted to specific procedures such as cataract surgery, eyelid surgery, and enucleation. Also included are chapters on paediatric surgery and trauma.
Thoroughly revised and updated, Eye Surgery in Hot Climates Fourth Edition continues to provide relevant, practical advice for health care providers caring for eye patients in nations where blindness and visual impairment remain prevalent.
