Riassunto:

Spurred by PRK, LASIK, and other laser-based techniques, refractive
surgery is growing at an explosive rate. Within the next decade, laser
procedures alone will form a billion-dollar market with more than 500,000 new
operations per year.

This comprehensive new work-with nearly 300 full-color
illustrations-brings the ophthalmologist up-to-date on recent advances in the
field, and shows how to use refractive techniques effectively in daily practice.
The book examines all major refractive methods, from incisional techniques to
laser and lamellar procedures, and in each case provides complete information on
patient selection, instrumentation, operative technique, pitfalls and
complications, and postoperative management. This is a well-balanced, complete
overview of each refractive procedure, thoroughly referenced to maximize
usefulness for all ophthalmologists.

Refractive Surgery is the ideal choice for
specialists who seek thoughtful, well-balanced, coverage of current techniques,
supported by detailed references and a thorough review of the clinical
literature.
