REFRACTIVE SURGERY: An Ophthalmic Guide to Assessment and Management by Shehzad Naroo ISBN: 0750655607 Reviewed by Stephen Bambery in 2004

This book provides a holistic overview of refractive surgery, written primarily for optometrists.

Subjects covered include pre-operative assessment; corneal topography; corneal anatomy; physiology and wound healing; surgery; postoperative follow-up; co-management and legal issues; wavefront technology.

The CD ROM included shows LASIK and LASEK techniques.

Due to its multiple contributors and excellent list of references, this book will appeal to optometrists and ophthalmologists interested in refractive surgery. The chapter on wavefront technology is an excellent introduction to a complex subject.
