Vision correction with excimer lasers
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005Excimer lasers were invented in 1975, and the first human eye treatment with VISX laser technology was in 1987. Since then many advances in LASIK surgery and related diagnostic and control techniques have led to improved vision correction with over 95% of patients corrected to 20/20 vision or better.

LASIK – the second generation of laser vision correction
The EYE GLAZ, 2020LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is the second generation of laser vision correction methods, which replaced PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) and became a wide-spread method of laser keratorefractive surgery. The technology can improve vision in cases of myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism.

Communicating with laser vision correction patients.
Journal of ophthalmic nursing & technology, 2000Laser vision correction or LASIK has a long and excellent history with significant benefits and unlikely risks. Adequately educating patients should allay their fears and allow good candidates to enjoy the life changing benefits of improvement in the natural vision through laser vision correction.

Use of Lasers for Vision Correction of Nearsightedness and Farsightedness
New England Journal of Medicine, 2004A 32-year-old woman with moderate myopia and mild dry eye has worn soft contact lenses for 12 years but now is not tolerating them well. On examination, her refraction is –4.25 + 1.0 × 90 (–3.75 diopters of spherical equivalent and 1 diopter of astigmatism at 90 degrees) in the right eye and –3.5 + 0.5 × 88 in the left eye, yielding a best corrected ...

Optimizing Blepharoplasty Outcomes in Patients with Previous Laser Vision Correction
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2008Dry eye syndrome, often referred to as dysfunctional tear syndrome, can occur following laser vision correction surgery and routine blepharoplasty. Identifying patients prone to developing or worsening of dysfunctional tear syndrome following blepharoplasty can help optimize surgical outcomes.The authors highlight the salient features of the ...
