Refractive surgery is eye surgery to improve the refractive state
of the eye and reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact
lenses. The most common type of refractive surgery uses lasers to
reshape the curvature of the cornea. This book is a practical guide
to the latest advances in refractive surgery procedures. Beginning
with an introduction to the evolution of refractive surgery, the
next section discusses pre-operative workup, patient evaluation,
and decision making. The following sections cover different
refractive procedures including corneal ablative, refractive
lenticule extraction, lens-based surgeries, enhancements and
retreatments, and presbyopia (a condition associated with aging).
The final section covers a selection of miscellaneous topics such
as bioptics, collagen cross-linking, intracorneal ring segments,
incisional surgery, and challenging scenarios. Each section is
highly illustrated and provides in depth detail on machines and
laser platforms, surgical techniques, outcomes, and potential
complications and their management. Key points Practical guide to
latest advances in refractive surgery Covers numerous different
procedures In depth detail on techniques, outcomes, equipment and
complications Highly illustrated with clinical photographs and
figures
Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a relatively new
refractive procedure designed to treat a multitude of refractive
errors such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. The
procedure involves using a femtosecond laser to create a corneal
lenticule which is extracted whole through a small incision without
the use of a traditional excrimer laser. It is a painless procedure
and is reported to achieve excellent post-operative outcomes
(American Academy of Ophthalmology). This book is a complete guide
to the new technique of SMILE surgery providing refractive surgeons
with an overview of surgical procedure, refractive and
physiological outcomes, complications and their management, and
future applications. Beginning with an introduction to the history
and development of femtosecond lasers, the next chapters discuss
patient selection and the principles of the technique. The
following sections cover outcomes, complications, and offer a
comparison between SMILE and Femtosecond LASIK. The book features
an interactive DVD ROM offering step by step guidance on surgical
technique, and is highly illustrated with self-explanatory
diagrams, clinical photographs and ASOCT images. Key points
