FEMTOSECOND LASER SURGERY IN OPHTHALMOLOGY

u003cpu003eThe femtosecond laser has emerged as a groundbreaking game-changer in ophthalmic surgery. It was first introduced for corneal refractive surgery in flap creation during LASIK, and subsequently for cataract surgery in 2008. The femtosecond laser cuts deeply on a single plane without collateral damage. Its high precision and safety result in excellent outcomes in the hands of experienced eye surgeons, benefiting virtually everyone.u003c/pu003e u003cpu003eFemtosecond Laser Surgery in Ophthalmology fills an unmet need for a comprehensive, up-to-date resource on growing applications of this state-of-the-art technology. H Burkhard Dick is a world-renowned pioneer who has performed more than 6,000 laser cataract operations. Readers will benefit from his keen insights along with the collective expertise of co-authors Tim Schultz, Ronald D. Gerste, and a cadre of top-notch contributors. Twenty-nine chapters encompass basic physics, refractive and therapeutic cornea treatment, various aspects of laser cataract surgery, and patient selection.u003c/pu003e u003cpu003eKey Featuresu003c/pu003e u003culu003e u003cliu003eClinical pearls, outcomes, and complications management in femtosecond laser-assisted in situkeratomileusis surgeryu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eDiscussion of crucial steps including capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and corneal incisionsu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eThe use of the femtosecond laser for presbyopia, pediatric cataract surgery, and ocular comorbiditiesu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eExtensive videos posted in the Thieme MediaCenter further elucidate techniquesu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eMore than 300 high quality illustrations and photos add a rich visual dimensionu003c/liu003e u003c/ulu003e u003cpu003eThis practical book provides in-depth knowledge on the applications of femtosecond laser surgery, enabling cataract and refractive surgeons to incorporate these techniques into daily practice.
