As a Dr. Chang patient, i received this book as part of pre-op discussions. Great to understand what cataract issue i had and what could be done. It explains the challenges of cataract patients who have had Lasik surgery. Happy with the book and the outcome of my surgery. Good illustrations and photos along with an understandable explanation.

This is an excellent book for someone getting ready to have cataract surgery. It tells you all you need to know to be prepared for the surgery. Definitely worth buying. Note that this is the revised edition.

Dr. Chang's book answered all the worrisome questions my wife and I had about cataracts. Both of us found this book to be extremely helpful in assessing her condition and planning for a successful surgery. The book includes many helpful illustrations as well as a comprehensive index and glossary which allow for quick reference.Written in a clear, concise style the book demystifies a complex condition and gives you the information you need to understand various medical options.If you're dealing with cataracts, get this book!
