Description
This clinical reference provides a comprehensive review of the use of lasers in ophthalmic surgery. For ease of use, this reference is organized by both specific lasers and type of surgery. Each chapter covers preoperative evaluation, laser technique(s), and treatment plans. Use of lasers in ophthalmic surgery is a growing trend and offers the benefits of being less invasive, has a lower rate of complication and a shorter recovery period, and is more cost effective than surgery with scalpels.
