Riassunto

This work takes a current look at the basic issues in refractive surgery: evaluating whether a patient is a candidate for surgery, wavefront analysis and technology, general types of lasers, and the surgical techniques used today. It includes an-depth discussion of incisional keratorefractive surgery, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), laser subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK), and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), including patient selection, surgical techniques, outcomes, and complications. For over 60 years, the BCSC has been the core curriculum in ophthalmology residency programs and a definitive source of up-to-date clinical knowledge for practitioners. Continually updated by a faculty of leading ophthalmologists in academia and practice, the BCSC draws on a solid foundation of scientific research and clinical experience.
