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.

This book addresses customized laser vision correction, an integral management option for the treatment of irregular corneas. This type of treatment reshapes the corneal surface in order to improve both the quality and the quantity of vision by reducing high order aberrations. Beginning with an introduction to the basics of this science, each type of customized laser vision correction is discussed in a clear and didactic format for rapid attainment of information. Throughout this practical clinical guide, examples are supported with the most recent scientific material and a step-by-step systematic methodology is included to fit all levels of ophthalmologists.

This book addresses some of the issues in visual optics with a functional analysis of ocular aberrations, especially for the purpose of vision correction. The basis is the analytical representation of ocular aberrations with a set of orthonormal polynomials, such as Zernike polynomials or the Fourier series. Although the aim of this book is the application of wavefront optics to laser vision correction, most of the theories discussed are equally applicable to other methods of vision correction, such as contact lenses and intraocular lenses.

Since the advent of keratorefractive surgery and its rising popularity, irregular astigmatism has become an increasingly important issue for ophthalmologists and optometrists. Despite the success of LASIK and PRK, there are more and more patients experiencing visual quality problems due to the non-physiological modification of the corneal structure. Among these complications, irregular astigmatism is perhaps the most difficult to treat. Every physician who performs keratorefractive surgery understands that in reducing a patient.s refractive error, there is a possibility of creating irreversible effects on visual quality. This text is intended to help prevent and reduce the iatrogenic creation of irregular astigmatism, as well as provide effective treatment when postoperative complications do arise. With the maturation of keratorefractive technology in recent years, effective treatment for iatrogenic irregular astigmatism is quickly developing. It provides everything refractive surgeons, ophthalmologists, and optometrists need to know about this important topic.

This book reviews the surgical techniques currently employed for the management of astigmatism, with the aim of providing a clear, comprehensive, step-by-step guide that will help practitioners to optimize outcomes. The book is divided into two sections covering the cutting-edge surgical approaches in cataract and refractive patients. Renowned experts with many years of clinical experience describe options such as incisional techniques, toric intraocular lenses, femtosecond and excimer laser technology. In addition, guidance is offered on preoperative evaluation of astigmatism, candidate identification and classification, and surgical management following penetrating keratoplasty. Supplementary videos of informative sample cases are included to further aid everyday practice.
