I would love a safer, reversible (!!) eye corrective option to LASIK, as someone who has chickened out of PRK for ten years but thinks about it nearly every day.
An alternative to LASIK — without the lasers
Hundreds of thousands of people undergo corrective eye surgeries each year, including the laser-assisted technique known as LASIK. But the procedure involves cutting away tissue, which can result in negative side effects, prompting researchers to develop a less invasive technique that takes the laser out of LASIK by remodeling cornea tissue, rather than removing it, in initial animal tissue tests. The researchers will present their results at ACS Fall 2025.
