Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK is a quite new technology.
The first laser was approved for LASIK eye surgery
in 1998. Refractive Eye Surgery is any
eye surgery used to develop the refractive state of
the eye and lessen the want for glasses. The most
common methods today use lasers to reshape the cornea."Lasers
may be used to treat nonrefractive state" (for example:
to seal a retinal tear), while radial keratotomy is
an example of "refractive surgery" without
the use of a laser.
