Product Description
Unique in its focus on the patient rather than the technology, this handbook is a practical, accessible guide to LASIK surgery. Expert surgeons detail each step of patient evaluation, surgical planning, procedure, and management of complications, discuss the pros and cons of commonly used equipment, and demonstrate the nuances of technique. Emphasis throughout is on correct decision-making, preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. The book features 75 actual cases with expert discussion of effective strategies for each case. Indexes help readers quickly locate cases by symptom/finding or by equipment used. Over 70 full-color clinical photographs and other illustrations complement the text. |

The best resource by far by Kevin Cranmer  5 Stars
October 06, 2007
This is by far the best manual I have seen on LASIK surgery. It is very concise and readable, but with a wealth of reference material applicable to the latest equipment and techniques. It is appropriate for both the beginning LASIK surgeon and the experienced practitioner. It is well illustrated, and has easy to use tables and nomograms on everything from ablation calculations to microkeratomes and IntraLase. It also includes some bonus material on other refractive procedures, such as nomograms for limbal relaxing incisions. The best part, though, are the case studies, of which there are MANY, covering everything from basic myopic LASIK, to handling of the most serious complications in refractive surgery. All of the cases are indexed and cross-referenced for topic and equipment used, which makes it easy to see how others have handled different situations when you have a patient with an issue. I am a practicing LASIK surgeon, and I thoroughly recommend this book.
