A femtosecond laser is a laser which emits ultrashort pulses, used for minimally invasive corneal surgery. This book is a concise guide to femtosecond laser technology and the various techniques for its use. The internationally recognised authors from the US, Europe and Asia, begin with an introduction and description of current technology and future prospects. The following chapters discuss the step by step application of the techniques to different ocular disorders. The book includes more than 200 colour illustrations and images and an ancillary DVD presents real life examples of various femtosecond laser procedures.
