"The London Vision Clinic's Forefront Refractive Surgery Course is an absolute must for anyone interested in maximizing their results, improving the patient's experience and fine tuning surgical techniques for performing SMILE. The course and materials provided by Dr. Reinstein and his team are truly invaluable."

"The course provides an excellent introduction to PRESBYOND and SMILE. The quality of the lectures is outstanding, but the added value is the informal nature of the course and the access to the lecturers who will spend as much time as it takes to answer questions."

"Is there a need for a third book in English on SMILE surgery and if so, what makes this book so different? After I have read it, the answer is definitely “yes.” Unlike other volumes, the present work is very personal. With the true “obsession to the detail” for which the senior author is known in the scientific community, he and the co-authors go into the very heart of refractive surgery embracing all aspects of SMILE."

"I take this opportunity to thank you. I have learned a million dollars. Not only is my functional vision better, but I believe I can now be a better physician and Ophthalmologist after this great experience of having a patient at your clinic and the direct experiences learned from the endeavour."

"I don’t know how to express my gratitude to you for the superb care you have given to me. I am one very grateful and happy patient. Your hospitality is also most commendable indeed. The course scores an unequivocal five stars whichever way one looks at it. You certainly have a phenomenal gift of imparting your knowledge and ideas in a very receptive manner. I learnt a ton of things and I will be implementing a number including the bedside manner pearls I observed."

"This manuscript presents a one-of-a-kind narrative that should sit on the shelf of every refractive surgeon striving to be the best they can in their field. As someone whose career focuses solely on refractive surgery, the information in this book has shaped my daily clinical work. I’ve kept the manuscript on an accessible shelf in my office and have referred back to it regularly for giving talks and finding citations for research papers. In publishing this tome Dr. Reinstein and colleagues have done our profession a favor."

"The Surgeon's Guide to SMILE represents the definitive text book for any surgeon wish to undertake and understand this procedure. It has been written by the foremost clinical research group in this area, who have been directly involved in the development of this technique. They have not only managed to write a very comprehensive textbook on SMILE but it contains wonderful information and insights on how refractive surgery should be conducted at the very highest level."
