“This book provides a step-by-step description of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS), from instruments and supplies needed to the actual steps and considerations of the surgery. … This is a masterfully written, concise yet comprehensive discussion of the MSICS technique. It could serve as a standalone book for ophthalmic surgeons attempting to learn the technique as well as those attempting to simply review the technique.” (Diana V. Do, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2016)
