This volume addresses the evolution of the intraocular lens procedure as well as certain complexities surrounding these formulas. It contains information on axial length measurement, biometry units, constants and ways to avoid errors. Dr Shammas has included IOL calculations and selections for a range of items that include normal phakic eye, secondary lens implantation in the aphakic eye, refractive keratectomy and high myopia. The book should be of interest for cataract surgeons seeking to improve their surgical results. Topics covered include: calculating for emmetropia; caclulating for iseikonia; measuring the corneal power; the ultrasound biometer; ultrasound measurement for the eye; ans optical coherence biometry.

H. John Shammas, MD is a clinical professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Southern California, The Keck School of Medicine in Los Angeles, California, and the medical director of the Shammas Eye Medical Center and M/S Surgery Center in Lynwood, California. As an ophthalmologist, Dr. Shammas has two major areas of interest; the first one is ophthalmic ultrasonography. He wrote his first textbook, Atlas of Ophthalmic Ultrasonography and Biometry in 1984, the second one, Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Tomography of the Eye in 1998, and edited his third one, Ultrasound in Ophthalmology, in 2000. His second area of interest is cataract surgery and how to improve its outcome. In 1991, he co-authored Color Atlas of Ophthalmic Surgery: Cataracts with Richard Kratz, MD. The combination of these two areas of interest can only lead to the subject of biometry and IOL power calculations. Dr. Shammas has published multiple articles in the American and international literature on axial length measurement and intraocular lens power calculations. As an ophthalmic surgeon, patient satisfaction is very important to him, and avoiding errors in IOL power calculations has been a primary focus of his research studies. He self-published a book on the subject in 1996. Lately, he has focused his research on those cases that had previous refractive surgery, and Chapter 18 is dedicated to this subject. This book represents the latest developments on the subject and the author's personal experience during the past 25 years.
