Sommario/riassunto

PrefaceThe Santen International Symposium ""Corneal Healing Responses to Injuries and Refractive Surgeries"", was held to bring together those working in the field of corneal disorders and refractive



surgeries to provide them with a forum in which the latest developments could be presented and discussed. Over the last decade, the crystal clear and transparent corneas have been challenged by various types of surgical insult to correct refractive errors. These Proceedings provide a comprehensive coverage of the material covered in this Symposium, allowing the reader to remain up-to-date.
