Laser Surgery Battle--Worthy in the U.S. Army's Eyes The U.S. Army is building itself a better soldier, one eye at a time. After years of skepticism, the military is embracing laser eye surgery with enthusiasm, envisioning soldiers in Afghanistan and other hot spots who no longer have to worry about glasses fogging up or contact popping out during combat. “It makes people into potentially better soldiers, better able to perform their duties.”
Today, it seems like everyone from celebrities and sports figures, to your friends and co-workers are talking about their experiences with laser vision correction, or LVC. Now you’re thinking about getting it done. But with so many providers out there and the different technologies being used, how do you pick the right one for you?
Understanding Custom Cornea Traditional LASIK still has some drawbacks because of the nature of the cornea. Light that enters around the edge of a LASIK corrected cornea is diffused, resulting in halos, starbursts, and poor vision in dim light. Wavefront LASIK (Custom Cornea) technology is superior, and is used in conjunction with the LADAR Vision 4000 excimer laser.
