Inhaltsangabe

Excimer laser treatment -- commonly known as PRK and LASIK -- is an unprecedented medical advance in eye care, affording millions of people a safe and simple opportunity to see the world clearly, without the inconvenience and discomfort of scratched or lost contact lenses or the blocked side vision of eyeglasses. Now you can have normal vision all the time, thanks to a pianless procedure that takes less than five minutes.

Recently approved by the FDA, excimer laser treatment may become one of the most common medical procedures performed in the United States. Explaining this phenomenal breakthrough in layman's terms, Dr. Andrew I. Caster, one of the leading physicians in the permanent correction of nearsightedness and astigmatism, takes anyone who is considering PRK or LASIK through the entire process -- including the experiences of patients who have undergone the procedure. He describes their emotions, especially the incredible joy of suddenly being able to see again. Filled with thoughtful and illuminating information, as well as diagrams designed to help you easily understand the operation's technical aspects, The Eye Laser Miracle is the guide for anyone who wants better vision.
