Excerpt from Book:

Dr. Hampton Roy is an accomplished author and ophthalmologist. His career as an author has produced over 30 published books, and Dr. Roy is the Chief Editor of eMedicine.com/ophthalmology. As a physician, he manages his general ophthalmology practice in Little Rock, Arkansas where he is a LASIK refractive surgeon.

This book is a guide for young refractive surgeons, non-ophthalmologists, and patients who would like to understand the fundamentals of refractive surgery. Dr. Roy researched the topics discussed and contributes his own expertise. He explains both the advantages and disadvantages of this increasingly popular surgery and provides the reader basic knowledge to help them understand the risks and benefits of refractive surgery.
