The LASIK Handbook: A Case-Based Approach focuses on the approach to the patient and the planning of surgery rather than the technology. The beginning refractive surgeon is led through a series of cases in a progression from simple to more complex decision-making. Surgical planning and management of complications are taught in a manner that is commonly used in contemporary medical student training--providing cases that mimic real-world situations.
New to this edition are more than 25 new cases to bring the total to over 100. All chapters are completely updated, and new separate chapters have been on the new technologies in corneal topography, mechanical microkeratomes, femtosecond lasers, and excimer lasers; and International Perspectives. This is an eBook version which does not include access to the supplemental online content mentioned in the text.
