A superb text by Paul Comlee (Washington, DC) 5 Stars
March 10, 2000

The definitive text on laser refractive surgery! 5 Stars
June 20, 1999
I have been heavily involved in refractive surgery for 5 years and this is the best single source on laser surgery that I have come across.It has excellent photographs and explanations; it covers the personal LASIK techniques of many surgeons rather exhaustivley.If you want to be involved in the fastest growing part of ey-care than this book is a MUST!!!
