Immediately Sequential Bilateral Cataract Surgery (ISBCS): Global History and Methodology is a comprehensive guide on the safe and efficient performance of ISBCS. It provides an overview of recommended protocols, necessary precautions, exclusion criteria, benefits and risks associated with this procedure, organizational standards, and more.
