4 WAYS TO APPROACH TOPICAL ANESTHESIA
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
by Walter Bethke, Associate Editor
The secret to patient comfort in cataract surgery may lie not in administering additional pain killers, but rather in diverting patients' attention. That's the theory, anyway, behind a pair of "virtual reality" glasses developed by New York ophthalmologist Kenneth Rosenthal.

Cataract Surgery: How to Handle Cardiac Patients
by Kenneth J. Rosenthal, MD and Marc A. Feldman, MD, MHS
A patient visits your clinic, complaining of significant difficulty with reading. Your exam shows bilateral cataracts. However, the patient has a history of cardiac problems.
