ILASIK

Eye sight is very important to us - this is a statement which nobody can contradict. I recently came across an article regarding laser treatment. It has become a common treatment for most of the people and people have started using it very easily. But my friend told me about a LASIK technology which NASA is currently using for the military personnel.

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. Now what is the difference between the modern laser treatment and this one. Answer is this uses two lasers instead of one. According to 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, “The DOD and NASA have validated the fact that today’s LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness,”

Results are really wonderful from this treatment. 95% of military Personnel have achieved 20/20 uncorrected vision or better and 100% of naval aviators having undergone the procedure would recommend the surgery to other naval aviators. This LASIK information is really interesting and it helps most of us I believe.
