Abstract

The proper choice of the method of refractive error correction is essential for both achieving optimal results and patient satisfaction. This selection should be based on the results of a detailed pre-examination, patient expectationsand the refractive surgeon’s personal experience. The article presents the main criteria for selecting the most commonly used corneal and intraocular methods for the correction of all refractive errors.
