Step by Step LASIK Surgery [Hardcover]

Namrata Sharma (Author), Rasik B. Vajpayee (Author), Laurence Sullivan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 12, 2005 | ISBN-10: 1841844691 | ISBN-13: 978-1841844695 | Edition: 1

The simple step-by-step approach chosen by the editors is very different to the existing titles available, in that the necessary basics of laser in situ keratectomy (LASIK) are discussed in detail for the neophyte. Many other excellent books exist for those with experience, yet there is a lack of publications for those just beginning to work with LASIK. Experts from around the world have contributed their practical experience so as to aid the readers of this book. The width and diversity of LASIK applications is vast, yet the apposite conciseness of this text provides all ophthalmologists with a good start in refractive surgery.

This review is from: Step by Step LASIK Surgery (Hardcover)

This is an excellent textbook for beginning LASIK surgeons, including ophthalmology residents and surgeons new to the procedure. It has many helpful, practical parts, including even a sample consent form. The review is thorough, and gives much information on current technology. Unfortunately, the editing (at least in the edition I read, which I think was earlier than this edition) is terrible. A good high school English teacher should have been hired to clean up the grammar, at the least. Most of the editing problems can be overlooked, but a few (such as a mis-statement of the Munnerlyn formula) could cause the reader serious misunderstandings. Overall, a good book, and probably the best out there for getting started.
