Did
you know that your eyes are your body's most highly developed
sensory organs? In fact, a far larger part of your brain is
dedicated to the functions of eyesight than to those of hearing,
taste, touch or smell. For many people, quality vision is something
that is taken for granted. For some, just being able to see
the alarm clock in the morning is a difficult challenge. Over
the past 30 years, several different procedures have been introduced
in the United States to correct vision. Beginning in the early
80's, doctors began using lasers to physically alter the shape
of the cornea. The laser has added a tremendous amount of precision,
control, and safety to treating nearsightedness, farsightedness,
and astigmatism.

potential for risks and complications.
