The number of laser refractive surgery procedures has risen dramatically each year. Since LASIK patients have fewer complications than PRK patients, it has replaced PRK as the surgery of choice. Optometrists are seeing increasing numbers of patients who have had LASIK surgery or are considering it. In order to best meet the needs of this growing segment of the population, practitioners need to have an understanding of the pre- and post-operative care plus a fundamental knowledge of the surgical procedure. LASIK:: Clinical Co-Management is the ideal book for optometrists who wish to provide optimal care for their LASIK patients.
