According to Steven Schallhorn “The DOD and NASA have validated the fact that today’s LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness”.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. An all-laser form of LASIK has been tapped by the Department of Defense (DOD) and NASA to improve the vision of specialized personnel facing extreme, physically demanding conditions
Modern LASIK, known as the iLASIK™ Procedure, uses two lasers instead of one, as in earlier versions of the procedure. iLASIK is said to be much more effective and safer than old LASIK since the hand held microkeratome blade is replaced with the laser. The risk had been lowered since the laser had is of course much more accurateIn the first stage of iLASIK, wave-front LASIK technology maps the unique characteristics of the individual’s eyes. Then, an ultrafast, computer-guided laser creates a corneal flap. This laser replaces the handheld microkeratome blade used in older forms of LASIK and makes the procedure exceptionally safe.
