Book's OK, Video's not so hot by Elizabeth L. Groves (Indianapolis)  3 Stars
July 23, 2009
The DVD that comes with this takes forever to figure out how to view, it's outdated (and my husband is a techie). There are only 6 sections and they're so-so. The Book itself is pretty good, lots of good info. I was disappointed in the DVD.

This book should be read by everyone who perform Phaco surgeries. It's a great book, with great pictures and comes with a CD too. Don't wait to have your first complication to buy this book. BUY IT, READ IT, AND AVOID YOUR "NIGHTMARES"!!!!!! I would certainly recommend it!

Excellent aid by Hector Escobar Gomez (manizales, colombia) 5 Stars
January 11, 2007
This is a very updated review of how to manage difficult cases and deal with complications in phacoemulsification. The book is well organized in sections, and the items very helpfull for anyone interested in phaco surgery.
The cd-rom illustrates selected cases, but i think it could be better if deals with all scenarios in the book.
