Description
This is intended as an illustrated practical aid to corneal surgery for the surgeon who does not regularly perform this type of work. Alongside the discussion of surgical techniques, this text emphasizes the need for accurate preoperative assessment of the patients and good, regular postoperative care. It is designed for both practicing and trainee ophthalmologists, with wide scope but notably covering corneal graft operations and refractive surgery.
