Synopsis

This book offers to the reader descriptions of all the procedures of basic vitreoretinal surgery and how they should be used. These step-by-step descriptions are related from our own experience and include our opinion about which methods should be preferentially used for each step. Apart from its illustrations and photographs, several video recordings are provided on two DVDs in which the reader will be able to see the most frequently used procedures, such as those performed to treat cataract surgery complications, retinal detachment, problems related to diabetic retinopathy and macular disease, along with the use of tissue dyes, such as brilliant blue, trypan blue and triamcinolone, to visualize the eye structures during surgery.
