Description: A condensed summary of surgical tips in the fields of refractive, cataract, and corneal surgery. The Second Edition follows the same format of summarizing the key pearls and pitfalls of challenging surgical procedures, with new and updated practical points. Focusing on practical tips rather than theoretical aspects of surgical procedures, and including clear illustrations of techniques, this volume is designed to be a user-friendly, straightforward guide to surgical success. Each pearl will enhance surgical outcomes, reduce surgical time, minimize complications, or simplify a complicated step. Some chapters include: LASIK Complications; PRK; PTK; Hyperopia Treatment; Topography; Corneal Lacerations Repair; Posterior Vitreous Pressure; During Keratoplasty; and Pterygium Excision.
