Description: "If you are concerned you may have cataracts or have been diagnosed with them--get detailed and understandable answers to your questions with Cataracts: A Patient's Guide to Treatment, Third Edition. Even though cataract surgery is performed several million times a year, it is common for patients to have questions, concerns, and misconceptions when it comes to surgery. Dr. David F. Chang and Dr. Bryan S. Lee walk the patient through the procedure and explains why cataracts form, how they are diagnosed, how they are treated, and what other eye conditions may affect cataract surgery. After reading Cataracts: A Patient's Guide to Treatment, Third Edition, you will be able to make a well informed decision about cataract surgery, and will understand much more about the range of artificial lens implant options that can get you seeing clearer once again"--
