Every year in the United States, around 1.3 million people have laser vision correction surgery. Three months after their surgeries, 70 percent of these people feel amazed and delighted with the results. The remaining 30 percent, however, experience side effects that leave them feeling dissatisfied to varying degrees. They may have uncomfortably dry eyes, blurry vision, and/or experience difficulty driving after dark. This book, written by board-certified medical and surgical ophthalmologist Ismail A. Shalaby, MD, PhD and medical writer Dean Haycock, PhD, is the first book to bring answers and advice for people who are struggling with complications from eye surgery. The authors begin with an explanation of how your eye works, and then provide information on what's normal and what's not after refractive eye surgeries, including LASIK, cataract surgery, and glaucoma surgery. The book then covers a comprehensive range of problems you could be experiencing, and discusses the various treatment options you may want to consider. This book will empower you to take the right steps to overcome your post-surgery eye problems

Femtosecond-assisted laser in-situ keratomileusis flaps have revolutionized refractive surgery since their introduction. The use of the femtosecond laser to create the LASIK flap has led to an improvement in the safety profile of the flap creation step as compared to the mechanical microkeratome. Although this laser is exceedingly safe, complications still do occur. LASIK Emergencies: A Video Primer focuses specifically on the different flap complications that are still known to occur and their management. Designed as a narrated video-based book of ophthalmic surgeries, LASIK Emergencies covers the entire spectrum of Intralase flap complications. With 15 chapters, this book and accompanying website contains nearly 4 hours of state-of-the-art video teaching. Drs. Samir Melki and Ali Fadlallah have designed LASIK Emergencies so that each chapter focuses on a specific complication and its management, and features multiple videos for each. Each video is edited in such a way that the viewer can quickly grasp all the relevant information without having to sit through extensive, unedited surgical videos. Some Complications Covered: Loss of suction Air bubbles in the Anterior Chamber Irregular Flaps Subconjunctival hemorrhage and bleeding Ophthalmologists, laser ophthalmic technicians, and optometrists alike will appreciate this unique resource, as LASIK Emergencies: A Video Primer covers the entire spectrum of LASIK complications in a detailed, yet digestible manner.
