Mastering the techniques of lasik, epilasik and lasek

Written by an international group of the foremost experts in refractive surgery, this full-color text/atlas is a step-by-step guide to the latest techniques and technology in LASIK, EPILASIK, and LASEK. Major sections focus on preoperative evaluation and machine dynamics, LASIK, EPILASIK, and LASEK surgical techniques, complications and their management, and recent advances and future prospects. More than 400 illustrations demonstrate the procedures.

A DVD accompanying the book offers nine video demonstrations of Zyoptix laser, femtosecond laser for corneal flaps, EPILASIK, LASEK, customized LASIK, LASIK surgical technique, presbyopic LASIK for myopia and hyperopia, and LASIK after penetrating keratoplasty.
