With comprehensive and up-to-date content, this book offers a complete and detailed overview of the most advanced surgical techniques for correcting refractive errors, covering everything from epidemiology to intraocular procedures.
Section 01 - Introduction provides a solid foundation, discussing the epidemiology of refractive errors and exploring advances in lasers used in refractive surgery, including the Excimer Laser and the Femtosecond Laser. In addition, it addresses crucial aspects of healing after refractive surgery.
In Section 02 - Propaedeutics, the book covers the careful selection of candidates for refractive surgery, evaluation of ocular motility, analysis of the posterior segment and its relationship with surgery, as well as the intersection between glaucoma and refractive surgery. The importance of corneal topography and tomography is explored in detail, including biometric analysis techniques and aberrometry.
Section 03 - Corneal Refractive Surgery dives deep into surgical techniques, presenting principles and influences of incisional surgery, detailing surface procedures such as PRK and TransPRK, and exploring the widely used LASIK technique. The book also covers therapeutic use of the Excimer Laser, small-incision lenticular extraction, and intrastromal implants, including intracorneal lenses and intrastromal corneal rings.
In Section 04 - Intraocular Refractive Surgery, the various aspects of phakic lens surgery, its options, techniques, results and complications are presented. In addition, the book explores lens replacement surgery for refractive purposes in detail, including biometric formulas and associated complications.
Written by renowned experts in the field, "Book 11 Refractive Surgery" is a comprehensive guide that will allow practitioners and students to deepen their knowledge of refractive surgery, exploring from the basic principles to the most advanced techniques and the most relevant clinical considerations. Don't miss the opportunity to acquire this valuable resource to enhance your ophthalmic practice and stay current with the latest developments in the field.
