This has provided huge scope for the improvement of current LASIK procedures meaning that the LASIK business is growing and changing at a fast pace. Demonstrating this is the fact that in 1997 there were 190,000 national treatments [...]

Custom Wavefront Lasik Surgery: Techniques and History

Wavefront mapping makes it possible to reshape the cornea and correct vision problems according to a completely individual mapping of the eye. The wavefront lasik surgery diagnostic tools will accurately measure any imperfections, known as aberrations, which are then treated with the wavefront LASIK procedure.
This sort of technology was originally used in astronomy to measure [...]
