Refractive Surgery with Phakic IOLs is divided into two major sections focusing on basic principles and implantation indications of phakic IOLs.

Section one covers information on the limits of corneal refractive procedures, the role of phakic IOLs in refractive surgery, classification, proper patient selection, and an extensive chapter concerning new diagnostic tools. Section two covers the main phakic IOL styles for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

Each chapter covers the historical background of the phakic lens, patient selection, operative technique, postoperative care, and intraoperative and postoperative complications with their management. Also included is information on power calculation of phakic IOLs, and combined refractive surgery procedures with phakic IOLs.
