Mastering Refractive Surgery

Refractive surgery is one of the rapidly evolving subspecialties in ophthalmology. New technologies, devices, techniques, and parameters are being developed daily, making it challenging for both experienced refractive surgeons and beginners to keep up.

While numerous resources for refractive surgery teaching exist in the form of videos and textbooks, the availability of sources that present information in a question-solving manner is limited. This book aims to fill this gap, providing a unique and valuable resource for refractive surgery education.

Compiling 200 multiple choice questions (MCQs), the text covers a comprehensive selection of topics, including preoperative candidate assessment, laser-based refractive surgery, lens-based refractive surgery, surgical complications, ethical principles, and more.

The MCQs are presented in a self-assessment manner, with answers, explanations and some discussion, provided at the end of the book.

The book is authored by a highly experienced team of experts in refractive surgery, making it an invaluable learning resource for both practising and trainee ophthalmologists.
