This work reviews the anatomy, physiology, embryology, and pathology of the lens. Also provides an overview of lens and cataract surgery including wound construction, viscoelastics, posterior capsule opacification, and refractive considerations such as phakic IOLs and clear lens extraction. For over 60 years, the "BCSC" has been the core curriculum in ophthalmology residency programs and a definitive source of up-to-date clinical knowledge for practitioners. Continually updated by a faculty of leading ophthalmologists in academia and practice, the "BCSC" draws on a solid foundation of scientific research and clinical experience.
