Synopsis:

The Art of LASIK, 2E takes you through every aspect of LASIK surgery, starting with the evolution of LASIK and ending with the most complex situations encountered during this procedure. The contributors not only detail specific cases and how they were addressed, but also include postoperative results at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Covering everything from the fundamentals of LASIK, individual techniques, instrumentation, complications, and complex cases, this new edition is essential for everyone interested in this cutting-edge field of ophthalmic surgery.

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."

    — Stephen F. Brint, MD, FACS, Foreword
