This book is extremely informative! It pretty much answered every question I had regarding LASIK, in a very objective and easy-to-understand manner. In fact, I was so impressed by Dr. Caster that I scheduled an initial (and free) consultation, to see if I was a candidate. Turns out I was, and after a more thorough pre-op exam, including an unanticipated trip to a retinal specialist (they saw something they wanted checked out and preferred a specialist's seal of approval), I went through with the LASIK procedure. I can't praise this book enough, for giving me helpful information that made me a better, more informed patient. I felt very much in control -- well, as much as I could be, under the circumstances; and that, I think, should be any patient's ultimate objective, regardless of the medical procedure.

Dr. Caster describes in detail the LASIK procedure, a miraculous new laser eye surgery that can cure nearsightedness and astigmatism. After I read the book, I had Dr. Caster operate on my eyes, and I have now thrown away my glasses. This is 21st-century medicine delivered in the 20th century!

I was very hesitant to have lasik done and after reading Dr. Caster's book, I felt much more sure of the procedure. This was like a bible to me before and after the procedure. It was not too wordy,in fact it was straight and to the point,unlike other books about medical procedures. Anyone who is considering lasik should buy this book. It is also very reasonably priced and not as wordy as some of the other books I saw.You don't need a long,expensive book....you simply need what Dr. Caster has done, a very informative book that answers all your questions and gives you very honestly,the pros and cons of the procedure.I have given this book to many friends who were so grateful to have this information right at their fingertips.Glasses off to Dr. Caster!!!
