General Introduction

The Basic and Clinical Science Course (BCSC) is designed to meet the needs of residents
and practitioners for a comprehensive yet concise curriculum of the field of ophthalmol-
ogy. The BCSC has developed fro m its original brief outline format, which relied heavily
on outside readings, to a more convenient and educationally useful self-contained text.
The Academy updates and revises the course annually, with the goals of integrating the
basic science and clinical practice of ophthalmology and of keeping ophthalmologists cur-
re nt with new developments in the various subspecialties.
The BCSC incorporates the effort and expertise of more than 80 ophthalmologists,
organized into 13 Section faculties, working with Academy editorial staff. In addition, the
course continues to benefit from many lasting contributions made by the faculties of pre-
vious editions. Members of the Academy's Practicing Ophthalmologists Advisory Com-
mittee for Education serve on each faculty and, as a group, review every volume before
and after major revisions.

Organization of the Course

The Basic and Clinical Science Course comprises 13 volumes, incorporating fundamental
ophthalmic knowledge, subspecialty areas, and special topics:
I Update on Gene ral Medicine
2 Fundamentals and Principles of Ophthalmology
3 Clinical Optics
4 Ophthalmic Pathology and Intraoc ular Tumors
5 Neuro-Ophthalmology
6 Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
7 Orbit, Eyelids, and Lacrimal System
8 External Disease and Cornea
9 Intraocular Inflammation and Uveitis
10 Glaucoma
II Lens and Cataract
12 Retina and Vitreous
13 Refractive Surgery
In addition, a comprehensive Master Index allows the reader to easily locate subjects
throughout the entire series.

References
Readers who wish to explore specific topics in greater detail may consult the references
cited within each chapter and listed in the Basic Texts section at the back of the book.
These references are intended to be selective rather than exhaustive, chosen by the BCSC
faculty as being important, cur rent, and read ily available to residents and practitioners.

Related Academy educational materials are also listed in the appropriate sections.
They include books, online and audiovisual materials, self-assessment programs, clinical
modules. and interactive programs.

Study Questions and CME Credit

Each volume of the BCSC is designed as an independent study activity for ophthalmology
residents and practitioners. The learn ing objectives for this volume are given on page 1.
The text, illustrations, and references provide the in for mat ion necessary to achieve the ob-
jectives; the study questions allow readers to test their understanding of the material and
their mastery of the objectives. Physicians who wish to claim CME credit for this educa-
tional activity may do so by mail, by fax. or online. The necessary forms and instructions
are given at the end of the book.

Conclusion
The Basic and Clinical Science Course has expanded greatly over the years, with the ad-
dition of much new text and numerous illustrations. Recent editions have sought to place
a greater em phasis on clinical applicability while maintaini ng a solid foundation in basic
science. As with any educational program, it reflects the experience of its authors. As
its faculti es change and as medicine progresses, new viewpoints are always emerging on
controversial subjects and techniques. Not all alternate app roaches can be included in
this series; as with any educational endeavor, the learner should seek additional sou rces,
including such carefully balanced opinions as the Academy's Preferred Practice Patterns.
The BCSC faculty and staff are continuously striving to improve the educational use-
fulness of the course; YOll, the reader, can contribute to this ongoing process. If you have
any suggestions or questions about the series, please do not hesitate to contact the faculty
or the editors.
The authors, editors, and reviewers hope that you r study of the BCSC will be oflasting
value and that each Section will serve as a practical resource for quality patient care.
Introduction

The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that the lens was the part of the eye respon -
sible for the faculty of seeing. They theorized that the optic nerves were hollow channels
through which "visual spirits" traveled from the brain to meet visual rays from the outside
world at the lens, which they thought was located in the center of the globe. The visual
information would then flow back to the brain. This concept was known as the emanation
theory of vision. Celsus (25 Be- AD 50) drew the lens in the center of the globe, with an
empty space called the locus vacuus anterior to it, in AD 30 (Fig I- I ).
These erroneous ideas about lens position and function persisted through the Middle
Ages and into the Renaissance, as shown by the drawings of the Belgian anatomist An-
dreas Vesalius in 1543 (Fig 1-2). However, the true position of the crystalline lens was
illustrated by the Italian anatomist Fabricius ab Aquapendente in 1600 (Fig 1-3); and the
Swiss physician Felix Plater (1536-1614) first postulated that the retina, and not the lens,
was the part of the eye responsible for sight.
Today, many areas of lens physiology and biochemistry are still subjects of active re-
search. No medical treatment, for example, can yet prevent the formation or progres-
sion of cataract in the lens of the otherwise healthy adult eye, and theories about cataract
fo rmation and innovative forms of management continue to be controversial. Although
various risk factors for cataract development (UV-B radiation, diabetes mellitus, drug use,
smoking, alcohol use, severe malnutritio n, and oxidative damage) have been identified,
data to develop guidelines for reducing the risk of cataract remain inconclusive.

Cataract is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the world, whereas cataract ex-
traction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is perhaps the most effective surgical pro-
cedure in all of medicine. More than 1.8 million cataract procedures are performed on the
population older than age 65 in the United States each year, and the visual disability associated
with cataract formation accounts for more than 8 million physician office visits each year.
The prevalence of lens disorders and continuing developments in their management
make the basic and clinical science of the lens an important su bj ect in ophthalmology
training. The goal of Section 11 is to provide a curriculum for the study of all aspects of
the lens, including the structure and function of the normal lens, the features of diseases
involVing the lens, and the surgical management of lens abnormalities, such as recent
developments in phacoemulsification and laser capsulotomy. Because the specifics of sur-
gical tech niques and instrumentation are constantly changing, the authors of this volume
have chosen to provide a balanced presentation ofthe general principles of cataract man -
agement, emphasizing the major prevailing approaches.
In addition, to help put today's techniques into perspective, historical vignettes de-
scribing the evolution of cataract surgery and 10L implantation appear at the beginning
of Chapter 8 and in the discussion oflOLs later in that chapter.
