This one-of-a-kind text focuses on the uses of the Fugo blade, a battery powered, portable electrosurgical unit that uses plasma technology to create incredibly sharp and virtually resistance-free incisions. This novel, evolving technology has been called the "first improvement in incision since the introduction of the laser". The unit is FDA approved for cataract surgery, iridotomy, and glaucoma surgery, and over two dozen other uses of the Fugo blade have been identified in ophthalmology. This book describes and illustrates over 40 innovative procedures using this technology. Each section focuses on an anatomic area and details disorders that are treated with the Fugo blade. Clear photographs, illustrations, and text explain the authors' approach to the surgical problems. Coverage includes cataracts, glaucoma, refractive surgery, presbyopia reversal surgery, strabismus muscle surgery, DCR surgery, dry eye syndrome, soft tissue and plastic surgery, and retinal surgery. A companion website offers the full text online and an image bank.
