"This book is well referenced, readable, and well laid out.... it is easily navigable, making it a highly recommended addition to the library of every cataract surgeon. In the rapidly evolving field of cataract surgery, the updated edition is essential and timely."

"Dr Steinert and the associate editors have done a tremendous job of producing an all-inclusive and in-depth review on the management of cataracts and IOLs. This reference is relevant for the beginning, intermediate and advanced surgeon and clinician. It will also serve as an invaluable reference for the unusual and challenging cases that one may encounter pre-, intra- and postoperatively." -- Reviewed by Asim Piracha, MD for Ocular Surgery News (Sept. 2010)
