ABSTRACT

For this chapter, we have compiled a list of articles on LASIK. We identified pertinent articles published in peer-reviewed journals through a multistaged, systematic approach. In the first stage, a computerized search of Medline databases from 1990 to 2000 was performed to identify all articles about the efficacy and safety of LASIK. The terms laser in situ keratomileusis, keratomileusis, and LASIK were used for a broad and sensitive search.
