Description

If you are considering LASIK surgery, this book is a must. Written by an experienced refractive surgeon who is a LASIK patient as well, this concise, easy to read guide is designed like a typical office consultation. First, basic optics of vision are explained which help with the subsequent chapters about the benefits, risks, alternatives, and options in modern refractive surgery. The concepts are presented in basic terms with clear illustrations that anyone can understand. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to SEE International, an organization that organizes cataract surgery missions to under developed countries.
