The authors, opinion leaders worldwide on the topic of phakic IOLs, in this book Refractive Surgery with Phakic IOLs: Fundamentals and Clinical Practice make the second edition of their initial successful book. The second edition covers in more detail the innovations in phakic intraocular lenses for the correction of the different refractive errors, including astigmatism. Special attention has been made to the description of the diagnostic criteria to indicate a phakic IOL, how to indicate them in the different refractive errors, surgical pearls about the implantation of these lenses in the human eye and the outcomes described for each one of them. An extensive and impressive number of coauthors contribute to the book in the different chapters. All of them are leaders in the specific topics of the chapters and, altogether, this book offers a unique perspective on refractive surgery with phakic IOLs as the state of the art at this moment. This book is essential for the practical and comprehensive refractive surgeon and also for general ophthalmologists with interest in refractive surgery.
