Reviews:

In an effort to provide the readers with the latest advances on the topic, the authors ignore the fundamentals of the LASIK procedure, wavefront physics, and the customized treatment and go in breadth over a myriad of topics that are of less importance. In addition, the book is not well structured and chapters are spread out haphazardly throughout the book, not following any logical order. The chapters themselves are not organized, lack the recapitulating tables that the previous editions had, have little references listed and most of the times no references at all. Obviously written quickly and hastily by a mercenary of authors, it doesn't live up to the hype.
