Korean Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery: cataract
The textbook "Cataract" published by the Korean Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery: The first Korean-language textbook on cataracts, *Cataract*, originally published in 2002 by the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Science at the Catholic University of Korea College of Medicine, has been released as a fourth edition under the name of the Korean Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. *Cataract*, produced by the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Science at the Catholic University of Korea College of Medicine, has established itself as an essential textbook for ophthalmology residents and specialists learning cataract surgery in Korea; the fourth edition is now being published by the Korean Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. The Korean Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery has strived for academic research and surgical skill education in the field of cataracts, and by publishing a cataract textbook under the Society's own name 30 years after its founding, it is now able to deliver more systematic and academic content in depth. What Makes the 4th Edition of *Cataract* Different? The advancement of ophthalmology can be said to be the history of the development of cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures in Korea, and patients expect the recovery of visual function and the resulting improvement in their quality of life. Furthermore, cataract surgery can be considered the culmination of modern medicine, integrating not only high levels of proficiency but also cutting-edge technologies from related fields such as microsurgery, optics, fluid dynamics, and biomaterials. The newly published cataract textbook features balanced participation from authors including physicians at university hospitals, specialized ophthalmology clinics, and private clinics dedicated to cataract research. Although it bears the title of a revised edition, it has been published in a completely different format from the third edition. In addition to establishing the basic framework of a textbook, it explains essential topics for cataract surgeons—such as glaucoma, retinal surgery, and the treatment of complications—using visual aids to facilitate easy comprehension for readers.
