Publisher's Synopsis
Surgical techniques have evolved for customized correction of refractive disorders, based on achievements in objective assessment of refractive properties of the human eye and greatly refined excimer laser surgical vision correction systems. This book presents the underlying optical and laser-technological principles as well as the first clinical studies for Wavefront-quided LASIK-ablations. Chapters detail techniques and clinical results for the latest advances in wavefront technology, WaveScan, VISX STAR S3, ActiveTrak, Eye Tracker, photorefractive keratectomy, and ultra-short pulse femtosecond laser surgery. An appendix contains a report on the status of clinical VISX US-FDA study on customs ablations ("one-step"-wavefront-guided LASIK).
