3 The Psychology of Refractive Surgery A consideration in any situation where the patient is not happy with their vision Staff needs to be trained on how to handle these situations Patient and caring staff and doctor

4 Handling Patients Who Need An Enhancement The key to success of a refractive surgery practice

27 Hyperopic Astigmatism Post op he was OD 20/25 and OS 20/30 and fairly happy again Over the next year he became more frustrated with glare and halos One year post enhancement he still had the same vision but very frustrated with nighttime. Gas permeable contact lens over-refraction helped a little bit but not much.
