Summary: Excellence surpassed
Review: As a person privileged to be an editor of this book when it was in production, I can only express my admiration for the authors as to how they compiled all of the information. I daily claim this book to be of tremendous value for both Doctor and patient alike. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Good basic information but not really up to date for 2002
Review: I bought this book because I am going to have LASIK surgery the end of the month at the same place that sponsors the book (TLC). With the technology changing all the time, some of the stuff in this book is a bit out of date, but pretty accurate with what is going to be done. I would recommend a revision come out within the next couple months because of the leaps and bounds the procedure has had since the book was published. Don't get me wrong...this is an excellent start to find out more about LASIK and just don't depend on the Internet for the rest of your research.

Review: I found this book to be a wonderful guide in this very confusing industry. This book is filled with every aspect on laser vision correction that a consumer could want. After reading the book, I had the procedure myself. It was the best thing I have even done. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is considering laser vision correction.

Summary: The Laser Vision Breakthrough is a slam dunk!
Review: I have read the book and had laser vision correction. I urge anyone considering having this procedure to pick up a copy of this excellent consumer guide. All possible questions you could think of are answered in a clear, concise manner. This book is informative, interesting and easy to understand. My outcome was a success, and I am free from glasses and contacts for the first time since 1974!

Summary: Describes the Procedure Well, Downplays the Risks
Review: The book gives a very detailed description of the procedureitself and many details surrounding it which is useful for anyoneconsidering the surgery. Unfortunately this can't make up for the factthat it downplays the risks, dismissing stories of bad outcomes asmostly some type of "urban legend". Also the author hasworked for one of the higher priced Laser Eye chains and many of theirstaff are quoted in the book. I felt this displayed a subtle biastowards them...

Summary: Helps to Find Best Qualified Surgeons
Review: The new Laser Vision Breakthrough book helped me understand that getting my vision corrected is more complicated than some of the advertising I've seen and heard indicates. Some ads make it seem simple and easy. Since the laser procedure is a medical operation, the more I know about who to pick to do it, the better are my chances of getting a good result. All the laser companies seem to make the same quality and experience claims -- this book helped me understand how to evaluate the claims and make a good decision.
