Customized Corneal Ablation: The Quest for Super Vision
Refractive surgeons and clinicians are looking for a more customized approach to refractive surgery, and now with this text their search is over. Since refractive surgery’s inception, surgeons have defined a patient’s correction using sphere and cylinder refraction. But the days of relying on clinical refraction are over; new technologies and techniques allow a more “comprehensive” definition of refraction, as well as the higher order of aberrations. Sophisticated refractive surgery has arrived and includes the use of computerized corneal topography and wavefront sensing.
This book presents most of the new technologies available to achieve customized corneal ablation. It will teach you how to combine these technologies with your current techniques and then move beyond standard LASIK into the world of “SuperVision”. Customized Corneal Ablation, The Quest for SuperVision includes information on the very latest technologies and shows you how to offer your patients these exciting new opportunities. Astronomy, mathematics, basic science, and optics have joined ophthalmology in the quest for SuperVision, where 20/20 is no longer the standard of excellence. For the first time this information is available in one complete source. This book covers many of the exciting alternatives that now exist, allowing you to choose the options that will enhance your patients' vision.
