Review:

" I thoroughly enjoyed reading and reviewing this text. It is beautifully illustrated and contains all the information a LASIK surgeon needs to perform successful surgery."

     — G. Richard Cohen, MD, Ocular Surgery News

"Helpful hints abound throughout the book in the basics as well as thoughts on newer microkeratomes, lasers and most importantly, the management of complications from the surgeons who have had the most experience in managing these complications on a referral basis."
