Immediately Sequential Bilateral Cataract Surgery (ISBCS): Global History and Methodology is a comprehensive guide for the safe and efficient performance of ISBCS. It provides an overview of the history, recommended protocols, necessary precautions, exclusion criteria, benefits and risks associated with this procedure, organizational standards, and more.
Written by the most prominent ISBCS surgeons in the world, chapters recount the arguments for and against bilateral surgery that have been made throughout the ages, up to the present, and deliver achieved and proposed resolutions to all problems discussed. Topics such as ethics and medico-legal issues surrounding ISBCS are also discussed, and a chapter on the global evolution of bilateral cataract surgery provides readers with a complete overview of the development of ISBCS practices in countries from all continents.

Bjorn Johansson

Björn Johansson, MD PhD, Fellow of European Board of Ophthalmology, Associate professor and senior staff member at the Department of Ophthalmology, Linköping University Hospital, Sweden, studied medicine at the universities of Uppsala and Linköping. Ophthalmogical and surgical training took place in Linköping. Since 1990 he has performed 15000+ cataract operations. For more than 15 years he has been trainer for new cataract surgeons at Linköping University Hospital. After defending his thesis in the field of electrophysiology, focus in research has been cataract surgery outcomes and Immediate Sequential Bilateral Cataract Surgery, ISBCS, which he started to perform in 1999. In around 50% of regular cataract cases he plans ISBCS. Previously secretary of the Swedish Ophthalmological Society he serves in the society’s specialist exam work group and also co-authors the national Swedish curriculum for education of new cataract surgeons.
