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!!!

Although this is a textbook for professionals, it can be used by patients who are keenly interested in this topic. Machat is clearly a leader in his field, and this book can be rated "6 stars". I would consider this text to be the "Bible" of LASIK.

This is an excellent book by one of the world's best LASIK surgeons. Dr. Machat is so skilled, that he is often called upon to repair the damage done by other less talented surgeons. Brent A. Hanson had 5 operations from another surgeon before he went to Dr. Machat! IMO, perhaps all the king's horses and all the king's men, could not put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Dr. Machat has written a book which describes the proceduresfor performing lasik. However, the book fails to mention that hiscompany, TLC, is so overloaded with patient complaints, that thecompany is unable to respond to all of them.

I wish that the bookplaced a greater emphasis on the risk of having to have a corneatransplant after lasik surgery. I had to have a cornea transplantafter Dr. Machat performed lasik on me, and then dumped me as apatient...
