A medida que la nueva tecnologia laser evoluciona y revoluciona la atencion oftalmologica, se hace necesaria la existencia de una referencia actualizada y completa enfocada al entrenamiento o actualizacion del medico residente o especialista cuya practica incluye este tipo de procedimientos. Editado por Lars Freisberg, Nate Lighthizer, Leonid Skorin Jr., Karl Stonecipher y Aaron B. Zimmerman, Manual de laser en oftalmologia fue creado para proporcionar informacion clinica concisa y relevante sobre la tecnologia laser en un formato consistente y facil de usar. La mayoria de los capitulos contienen indicaciones clave especificas, contraindicaciones, consideraciones preoperatorias, puntos de procedimiento y consideraciones posoperatorias. Como informacion adicional, se incluyen varios capitulos no relacionados con el laser, como el entrecruzamiento corneal y la terapia de luz pulsada intensa. Aunque estas tecnicas se basan en dispositivos que no son laseres por definicion, la radiacion electromagnetica se utiliza para manipular terapeuticamente los tejidos y estos temas encajan de manera perfecta en el esquema general de este manual.
