Description

A new paradigm in ophthalmology has been introduced with the widespread clinical application of ocular wavefront sensing and customized corneal correction. No longer is the science of aberrations confined to the scientist and physicist. It has now entered the world of the physician and surgeon, and with that the world of every eyecare professional, and the patients they serve.

Recognized as the premier source on wavefront correction, Wavefront Customized Visual Correction: The Quest for Super Vision II details the latest advancements in wavefront-guided ophthalmic corrections poised to revolutionize eye care.
