LASIK
The innovator of the LASIK technique Ioannis Pallikaris, along with Dimitrios Siganos and 16 other world-renowned ophthalmic surgeons, has completely detailed this innovative procedure. Divided into six sections, the first introduces you to the procedure by explaining the intrastromal excimer laser, reviewing no-laser keratomileusis, as well as keratomes and special laser modifications for LASIK. Other sections address surgical plans; preoperative management; techniques and results in low, moderate, and high myopia; hyperopia; and topographical changes seen after LASIK. Complications and their management are also presented, including Dr. Pallikaris' learning curve. Concluding the book are indication, timing and initial results of reoperations, as well as future work up.
