Full Description
Examining established and emerging treatments for the correction of hyperopia and presbyopia, this reference offers guidance on technologies such as thermal or conductive keratoplasty, corneal implants, laser scleral relaxation, scleral expansion rings, intraocular lenses, and LASIK modifications.
