ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I wish to acknowledge all those who contributed tirelessly to the completion of this book:
To our authors, the experts in their respective fields, who took their time and energy to write yet another book chapter, and yet make it the best chapter they've ever written,
To our editors at SLACK Incorporated—Amy McShane, Lauren Biddle Plummer, and April Billick—who believed in us and our novel ideas in compiling this book and its cover, and who kept pushing us to its completion, even when we were past our deadlines,
To my coeditors, Ray and Scott, who each play such a unique role in the editorial process, and who keep challenging me and pushing me to pursue excellence, even when we don't always agree (see the photo on the back cover),
To my Refractive Surgery Clinical Team at CCF, to Amy, Kelly, Ann, Regina, Jenny, Alan, Kim, and Sharon, and to my secretary, Bobbi, for keeping my clinical and professional life organized and running efficiently, so I have time to travel and pursue noble educational goals, such as the writing of this book!
Finally, to Stephen Trokel, MD, who 20 years ago (December 1983) wrote the first article on excimer laser photoablation of the cornea. Without that article, his mentorship, and input, I would not have entered into this field in the first place.
Ronald R. Krueger, MD, MSE
I wish to acknowledge scholars before my time; my mentors, coeditors, colleagues, students, and family; and the financial support of the National Eye Institute.
My work, like that of others, is built upon the shoulders of scientists and clinicians who took the time to write down their findings and observations in archival journals for future students to study, learn, and use as a foundation in their own work. I am routinely amazed and embarrassed to find that my "unique contributions" have already been published. Gerald Westheimer first brought this obvious and often overlooked truth to my attention. He kindly reminded me that I could save weeks and months of work in the laboratory with an hour or so in the library.
I am fortunate to have had many mentors, a fraction of whom I list here. I thank and acknowledge Lee Guth for taking this green undergraduate into his lab; Jim Huff for letting me build equipment and participate in his experiments as an undergraduate; Gordon Heath for taking the time to encourage; and my graduate advisor Tony Adams for providing me academic and scientific freedom uncommon for a graduate student—his contribution to my career is unsurpassed. Thanks also to Russ DeValois for his evening seminars and for expertly modeling critical thinking; Gerald Westheimer for the one-on-one interactions that gave final root to my love of ocular optics; Jay Enoch for modeling scientific integrity by retracting a paper; and Bob Massof for offering scientific opportunity and friendship at Wilmer during my early days as an assistant professor when I was starving for scientific opportunity.
I am honored to be able to work with two exceptionally talented coeditors. I thank and acknowledge Ron Krueger for his creative energy, his ability to quickly absorb, and his faith in God—it rubs off—and Scott MacRae for balance, insight, and the shared desire to create an academic balance between clinical and basic science that communicates to both. As editors, we have built the rare trust that withstands disagreements, confrontations, and the shared joy of accomplishment. It is a treasure I value deeply.
My colleagues, students, and postdoctoral fellows make every day a day of discovery and a scientific challenge. I am compelled to acknowledge a few individuals and apologize to those I should have listed. I wish to thank and acknowledge Larry Thibos, Arthur Bradley, Howard Howland, Ed Sarver, Joe Harrison, Wick van Heuven, Gene Hilmantel, Austin Roorda, David Williams, Bill Donnelly, Jason Marsack, and Konrad Pesudovs for helping to make my scientific life fun and challenging.
I wish to acknowledge my children—Aaron, Ryan, Camille, and Olivia—for their love, support, and faith in my abilities. Most of all I wish to acknowledge Rachel—my best friend, companion, and the love of my life.
Finally, I acknowledge my grant reviewers and the dedicated people at the National Eye Institute for funding my research efforts through most of my career, beginning with a postdoctoral fellowship (F32 EY05201), an AREA grant (R15 EY008005), R01 grant funding (RO1 EY10097 and R01 EY08520), and a CORE grant (P30EYO7551-15) to the College of Optometry. Without this support, it would have been difficult—if not impossible— to establish the scientific position allowing me to serve as a coeditor.
Raymond A. Applegate, OD, PhD
I am fortunate to work with many generous and talented individuals who have mentored, supported, and inspired me over the years. I am grateful for the mentorship of Mathew Davis, MD; Hank Edelhauser, PhD; and Fritz Fraundfelder, MD, who nurtured me in my early quest as a clinician and scientist. Each gave me room to grow in their own unique ways. I'm deeply grateful to Larry Rich, MD, my former partner who I worked with for 17 years in Oregon at the Casey Eye Institute. Larry introduced me to the field of refractive surgery as well as the works of the great Jose Barrequer, MD, and taught me the fine art of lamellar surgery.
I have worked with and enjoyed the professional inspiration of many exceptionally talented individuals, including George Waring, MD; Doug Koch, MD; Dan Durrie, MD; Steve Slade, MD; Marguerite McDonald, MD; Paolo Vinciguerra, MD; Roberto Zaldivar, MD; Arturo Chayet, MD; Howard Gimbel, MD; Jay Pepose, MD; Cindy Roberts, PhD; and Jim Schwiegerling, PhD. There are many more gifted friends too numerous to mention who also have enriched my journey in ophthalmology and on a personal level.
I am extremely fortunate to work with the very talented University of Rochester staff of Joseph Stamm, OD; Gary Gagarinas; Gina Crowley; Brenda Houtenbrink; and Jennifer Anstey, whose careful, diligent hours of hard work and careful observation helped generate important data that thrust the field forward, while keeping it fun for patients and staff alike. I am also very grateful to be able to work with an exceptionally talented team of basic scientists, including Jason Porter, MS; Guenyoung Yoon, PhD; Krystal Huxlin, PhD; Ian Cox, PhD; and David Williams, PhD. They are a great scientific team to work with and just a great group of people as well.
I am indebted to Peter Slack for taking a chance and encouraging us to pursue writing the first volume of this book. Who would have guessed that the field would have exploded so quickly to warrant a second volume of this series? We are lucky to have the thoughtful editing and wonderful support of Amy McShane, April Billick, and Lauren Biddle Plummer, who have persevered to make this second volume a reality.
I also want to thank my coauthors, Ron Krueger and Ray Applegate, who share their tremendous passion and insight into the field of wavefront correction of refractive errors that inspires and excites me. I am grateful to all the authors who have taken time from their busy schedules to share their important observations, the glue that holds this field together. We are indebted to those refractive surgeons who have gone before us and those who follow in our footsteps. May their path be blessed by the joy I have experienced encountering the many wonderful people mentioned as well as countless others.

He rose through the faculty ranks quickly to become a tenured professor of ophthalmology in 1993. In January 2002, Dr. Applegate joined the College of Optometry at the University of Houston as Professor and Borish Chair in Optometry to direct the Visual Optics Institute. Dr. Applegate has served on the editorial board of Optometry and Visual Science and currently serves on the editorial boards for the Journal of Refractive Surgery and the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. He has been a feature editor on several occasions for the Journal of the Optical Society of America-A, Applied Optics, Optometry and Vision Science, and the Journal of Refractive Surgery. He is a cofounder of the International Congress on Wavefront Sensing and Aberration-Free Refraction Correction, is widely published in leading journals, and is a sought-after consultant and international lecturer whose National Institutes of Health-supported research interests center on the optics of the normal and clinical eye and early ocular disease detection and prevention.
Scott M. MacRae, MD, did his undergraduate, medical school, and residency program at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He did three corneal fellowships including a cornea and external disease fellowship and a NEI-sponsored corneal physiology research training fellowship both at the Eye Institute, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. He then did a brief contact lens and light toxicity fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta (1983).
In 1983, Dr. MacRae joined the faculty of Oregon Health Sciences University, Casey Eye Institute, in 1983 through 2000. He served as a panel member and consultant to the FDA Ophthalmic Devices Panel from 1986 to 2000, chaired the American Academy of Ophthalmology Public Health Committee from 1991 to 1994, and ran the American Academy of Ophthalmology Clinical Alert Program. He was an advisor to the White House in 1993 on two separate panels on health care delivery and served as a congressional advisor as well.
He has received an Honor Award in 1991 and the Senior Honor Award in 2000 from the American Academy of Ophthalmology. He has won numerous awards, including the Illinois Society to Prevent Blindness Young Researcher Award, The Kambara Award, The Amini Award (2003), and The Oregonian Citizen Winners Award. In 2003, he received the Lans Lectureship Award, which is an international award given to an outstanding young clinician researcher in the field of refractive surgery by the International Society of Refractive Surgery and the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Author of over 100 published articles and book chapters, Dr. MacRae has turned his attention increasingly to refractive surgery and the development of new technology. He has spoken at over 300 meetings both in the United States and internationally. He has a special interest in customized ablation, the biomechanics of laser in-situ keratomileusis, laser subepithelial keratomileusis, astigmatism design, and interface keratitis. He has trained hundreds of clinicians, residents, and fellows and has participated and helped lead several Food and Drug Administration clinical trials in the United States, including the Nidek Oregon Kansas Study and the University of Rochester Zyoptix Customized Ablation Study. He holds a patent on the excimer laser treatment of astigmatism and has two other patents pending in the field of laser refractive surgery.
On the editorial board of three ophthalmic journals, he is currently senior associate editor for the Journal of Refractive Surgery, has coedited three special editions of the Journal of Refractive Surgery, and has chaired numerous international refractive symposiums. He is senior editor of a best-selling book in ophthalmology, Customized Corneal Ablation: The Quest for SuperVision, which is the first volume of this series.
In 2000, Dr. MacRae accepted an appointment as Professor of Ophthalmology and Professor of Visual Science at the University of Rochester, NY, where with the Center for Vision Science at the university and private industry he promotes research and development of new refractive surgery techniques and technology.
