A friend who had the LASIK surgery with Dr Maloney told me to order this book. Not only did I read this book...Dr Maloney performed my LASIK surgery a few weeks later. He is an excellent surgeon. I took my book with me to my first appointment and Dr Maloney ACTUALLY took the time to explain specific written information and diagrams directly from his book. The best is Chapter 5...if you are thinking of having LASIK, order this book and you will SEE what I am talking about.
Review Of Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found this to be very informative, both on the procedure as well as the doctors. I especially appreciated chapter 5, how to choose a surgeon. There are many surgeons out there who make huge promises - how does one choose?
Great Information for anyone considering Lasik

I would describe this book as valuable and very objective. The idea of anyone cutting into your eyes is a pretty scary thought. This book helped me understand the process and my options. It made the thought of eye surgery less intimidating. Personally, I believe it's must read material and far superior to the tri-fold brochures you get at the typical Doctor's office. I really appreciated the section on what to look for in a Surgeon, much of it is common sense, but as a layman, you need to know the questions to ask. It looks to me like everything Dr. Maloney and Dr. Davidorf have written is right on the mark.
LASIK Vision Correction by Robert K. Maloney, M.D.

Being very nearsighted and hearing all the hype and ads about LASIK I decided to do an indepth investigation on the surgeons and the procedure. This book is extremely informative! I found it very comprehensive in detail about the surgery. I went for consultations at three different Laser Vision places and by far Dr. Maloney and his staff are the most profession, and skilled in this surgery. I had the surgery and see 20/20. I recommend this book and Dr. Maloney to everyone looking for this surgery. I traveled 5000 miles to have the surgery performed and it was well worth it!

I thought the book did a good job explaining the LASIK surgery in laymen terms. It has helpful charts, tables and pictures.
