Informa Healthcare, 2003 - 339 p.
Refractive surgery is currently evolving toward a new stage. Although high myopia and irregular astigmatism cannot be corrected fully, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia and myopic astigmatism has already become an established technology, with millions of patients benefiting from LASIK every year all over the world. The next challenge will be the correction of hyperopia and presbyopia. In most advanced countries, life spans have been increasing annually and have now passed the 80-year mark.Basic Optics of Hyperopia and Presbyopia
