Book Description
Dr. Amar Agarwal, along with over 35 of today’s cataract surgery leaders, explain all there is to know about phacoemulsification and bring their extensive experience with their own surgical nightmares. The book contains 5 sections that gradually escalate from the basics to nightmares, furnishing phaco surgeons with complicated scenarios and the essential guidance to assess, manage, and resolve.
Featuring updated content and brand new, state-of-the-art chapters on a variety of complex situations, More Phaco Nightmares is the toolkit surgeons need to stay in control when facing unique and especially challenging intra- and postoperative complications.
Sample chapters include:
- The Phaco Machine
- Air Pump, Gas-Forced Infusion, and Active Fluidics
- Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome
- Single-Pass Four-Throw Pupilloplasty
- Management of Capsule Rupture at Cataract Surgery
- Malpositioned Intraocular Lens
- Optic Capture
- Glued Intraocular Lens
- Management and Prevention of Negative Dysphotopsia
- Pseudophakic Cystoid Macular Edema
More than 350 illustrations and photographs supplement the text, providing visual as well as textual references for each case. Plus, an accompanying video website contains over 4 hours of new, original, high-quality video content, offering additional visual learning to demonstrate the techniques discussed.
Offering cutting-edge information, More Phaco Nightmares: Conquering Cataract Catastrophes will guide surgeons on how to mitigate the common problems and unanticipated disasters that may arise for even the most experienced surgeons.

About the Editors
Pre-Descemet’s endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK) was initiated by Dr. Agarwal. In this, the pre-Descemet’s layer and the Descemet’s membrane with endothelium are transplanted en bloc in patients with diseased endothelium. Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital first did contact lens–assisted collagen cross-linking (CACXL), a new technique for cross-linking thin corneas, and they have also worked on E-PDEK, in which an endoilluminator is used to assist in PDEK surgeries. Dr. Agarwal designed the new instrument called the trocar anterior chamber maintainer, now in complicated cases, which helps give infusion through the anterior chamber and works like a trocar cannula. He also started a new technique of iris suturing called single-pass four-throw (SFT) pupilloplasty. This is used for closed-angle glaucoma and for mydriatic cases.
He was the principal investigator for the Bausch & Lomb study in the first human eyes using hypersonic vitrectomy with Vitesse. The first 20 surgeries of posterior vitrectomy were done at Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital. He was also the first in the world to use hypersonic vitrectomy with the Vitesse for a case of posterior capsule rupture with nuclear fragments. He did an anterior vitrectomy, posterior vitrectomy, and nuclear fragment removal with the same Vitesse 23-gauge probe.
Dr. Agarwal has performed more than 150 live surgeries at various conferences. His videos have won many awards at the film festivals of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, American Academy of Ophthalmology, and European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. He has also written more than 75 books, which have been published in various languages (English, Spanish, and Polish). In his center, he trains doctors from all over the world on phaco, glued IOL, LASIK, and retinal surgeries. He is the chairman and managing director of Dr. Agarwal’s Group of Eye Hospitals, which has 75 eye hospitals across 14 countries all over the world. He can be contacted at dragarwal@vsnl.com.
