LASIK usage in the military and NASA.

Modern technology is simply fabulous, and i have also recently heard about ILASIK and how easy and fast the procedure is, which uses two lasers instead of one as in earlier versions of the procedure.

LASIK technology has been beneficial to NASA and the U.S. military for years now through the performance of their mission-critical personnel.“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. And he has also recommended the surgery, so come, lets see how to whole procedure is carried out and how safe it is, below:

Out of few stages, the unique characteristics of an individual eye is mapped through wave-front technology. Then a corneal flap is created by a ultra fast, computer-guided laser. This laser replaces the handheld microkeratome blade used in older forms of LASIK and makes the procedure exceptionally safe. The wave-front guides the second laser for vision correction, after the creation of the first flap. The combination of these advanced laser technologies creates a custom-fit procedure clinically proven to provide excellent safety and visual results.

Not only how safe is the procedure but how its also recommended by 100% of naval aviators to fellow naval aviators, as they have undergone the operation themselves. 100 military personnel showed that 95% achieved 20/20 uncorrected vision or better through a military’s evaluation of LASIK information
