Want to learn something about laser eye surgery?

The first refractive laser systems approved by FDA were excimer lasers for use in PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) to treat myopia and later to treat astigmatism. However, doctors began using these lasers for laser eye surgery (not just PRK), and to treat other refractive errors (not just myopia). Over the last several years, laser eye surgery has become the main surgery doctors use to treat myopia in the United States. More recently, some laser manufacturers have gained FDA approval for laser systems for laser eye surgery to treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism and for PRK to treat hyperopia and astigmatism. See the FDA web site at http://www.fda.gov/ for FDA-approved lasers and more details on which lasers have received FDA approval and the specific indications and treatment ranges for which they were approved.

Prices and services provided with laser eye surgery vary greatly. The best way is to compare the programs offered at different web sites. That way you can find the best one for you.
