In: Ming Wang, Editor: Keratoconus and Keratoectasia: Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment. Thorofare, NJ: SLACK Incorporated, Oct 2009.

This book chapter describes the theory behind using epithelial thickness profiles in screening for keratoconus. It describes the differences between the epithelial thickness profile in normal eyes and keratoconic eyes and how these patterns can be identified in cases of suspect keratoconus.

In: F Hampton Roy, Editor: Surgical Techniques in Ophthalmology Series: Refractive Surgery. Philadelphia: Saunders Elsevier, 30 Oct 2007.

This chapter describes advances in technology using the Carl Zeiss Meditec platform. Custom ablation can be achieved using wavefront aberrometry (WASCA), corneal surface shape data (TOSCA), sophisticated excimer laser delivery (MEL80), and surgeon-controlled individualization of treatment protocol (CRS-Master). Together, these components promise to deliver increasingly higher accuracy and control over corneal sculpting.

In: Ming Wang, Editor: Irregular Astigmatism Diagnosis and Treatment. Thorofare, NJ: SLACK Incorporated, Dec 2007.

This chapter assesses the efficacy, safety, and accuracy of TOSCA II (Topography Supported Custom Ablation) treatments for the correction of high corneal aberrations and refractive error following previous ocular surgery. Case examples include the optical zone recentration, optical zone enlargement and reduction of high spherical aberration.

In: Ming Wang, Editor: Irregular Astigmatism Diagnosis and Treatment. Thorofare, NJ: SLACK Incorporated, Dec 2007.

This chapter describes the applications for Artemis VHF digital ultrasound in the diagnosis of optical complications and visual disturbance in cases of irregular astigmatism following previous refractive surgery. Following diagnosis a corrective treatment plan could be determined including ultrasound guided transepithelial PTK, wavefront guided ablation, topography guided ablation, and ultrasound guided ablation.
