Publication: It was published by Slack, Inc.

Contents: The book compiles presentations and research on multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) from a meeting held in 1989. Chapters written by various ophthalmologists provide insights into the historical perspective and clinical results of early multifocal IOL designs.
