Modern LASIK in military and NASA


According to Dr. Schallhorn, “technologically speaking, there is no better time than now to join the over 12 million Americans who have benefited from LASIK." What is LASIK technology? LASIK is an alternative to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses. LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a type of refractive laser eye surgery performed by ophthalmologists for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

Today NASA and the U.S. military increase the performance of mission-critical personnel using laser vision correction technologies that have benefited civilians for more than five years.“The DOD and NASA have validated the fact that today’s LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness,” said Steven Schallhorn, M.D., a retired U.S. Navy captain and leader of clinical research and studies done for the DOD regarding the use of LASIK.

Modern LASIK, known as the iLASIK Procedure, uses two lasers instead of one, as in earlier versions of the procedure. In the first stage of iLASIK, wave-front technology maps the unique characteristics of the individual’s eyes. Then, an ultrafast, computer-guided laser creates a corneal flap.The combination of these advanced laser technologies creates a custom-fit procedure clinically proven to provide excellent safety and visual results.There are a lot more information in their website.
