Book Description

January 9, 2003
Custom LASIK: Surgical Techniques and Complications is the most comprehensive resource on LASIK currently available. This new edition of LASIK: Surgical Techniques and Complications has been revised and updated to include the latest in wavefront technology, new microkeratome instruments, and the most recent surgical procedures, in addition to various complex cases and complications.

The collaboration of Drs. Buratto and Brint, along with a team of international surgeons, have produced a complete text specifically to improve the quality of vision. Amateur surgeons benefit from the format in which basic surgical procedures are explained. Advanced laser procedure with ablations and intralase without the blade are more advanced techniques specifically detailed to assist the expert surgeon. The scope of this new edition is designed to provide the multitude of LASIK techniques that have emerged and the technological advancements that have made them possible.

With over 1,000 color illustrations demonstrating the various procedures and concepts, readers are able to develop a more thorough understanding of LASIK. These images supplement the wealth of surgical strategies presented throughout this resource.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"The color pictures and diagrams and the color tables highlighting the important points make this an easy read for those starting to perform LASIK or encountering a complication. This volume will be an excellent guide and resource for residents, fellows and beginning refractive surgeons wanting a step-by-step guide to techniques, instrumentation and lasers from the experts."

— W. Bruce Jackson, MD, FRCSC, Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology

“This book tries to be all things to all doctors, and does so successfully. It is geared to the beginning refractive surgeon who is learning technique and instrumentation, as well as the experienced specialist who desires an overview of choices available in technology, future trends, complication management, and surgical techniques that are practiced by some of the world’s most experienced surgeons.”

— G. Richard Cohen, MD Ocular Surgery News
