Evolución de la Cirugía de Catarata (2005) Dr. Michael Blumenthal

Description

This chapter analyzes the historical evolution of cataract surgery, contrasting the pre-intraocular lens (IOL) era (prior to 1950) with the subsequent period. It details how the advent of IOLs shifted surgical priorities, emphasizing the importance of preventing corneal endothelial damage and necessitating the adoption of Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (EEC) techniques.
