About the Editor
Amar Agarwal, MS, FRCS, FRCOphth is the pioneer of phakonit, which is phako with needle incision technology. This technique became popularized as bimanual phaco, microincision cataract surgery (MICS), or microphaco. He is also the first to remove cataracts through a 0.7-mm tip by the technique called microphakonit. He has also discovered no-anesthesia cataract surgery and FAVIT, a new technique to remove dropped nuclei. The air pump, which was the simple idea of using an aquarium pump to increase the fluid into the eye in bimanual phaco and coaxial phaco, has helped prevent surge. This built the basis of various techniques of forced infusion for small incision cataract surgery. He was also the first to use trypan blue for staining epiretinal membranes and has published the details in his 4-volume textbook of ophthalmology. His latest discovery is a new refractive error called aberropia.
Dr. Agarwal has received many awards for his work in ophthalmology, the most significant being the Barraquer Award and the Kelman Award. He has also written more than 33 books, which have been published in various languages. He also trains doctors from all over the world on phaco, bimanual phaco, LASIK, and retina at his eye center in India.
