Refractive surgery, also known as eye surgery, aims to enhance the refractive state of the eye and minimize or eliminate the reliance on glasses or contact lenses. The most commonly performed refractive surgery involves the use of lasers to reshape the curvature of the cornea.

This comprehensive book serves as a practical guide to the latest advancements in refractive surgery procedures. It begins by providing an overview of the evolution of refractive surgery, followed by a detailed discussion of the pre-operative workup, patient evaluation, and decision-making process. The subsequent sections delve into various refractive techniques, such as corneal ablative procedures, refractive lenticule extraction, lens-based surgeries, enhancements, retreatments, and presbyopia (a condition associated with aging).

The final section covers a range of miscellaneous topics, including bioptics, collagen cross-linking, intracorneal ring segments, incisional surgery, and challenging scenarios. Each section is extensively illustrated, providing in-depth explanations of surgical techniques, outcomes, equipment, and potential complications. Additionally, clinical photographs and figures are included to enhance the understanding of the subject matter.
