NEW, non-flap lasik?

[XMan]

I heard an ad for this on the radio but can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Apparently there's no surgical flap involved, just the laser.

Does anyone know?

It's the "I'm in the Air Force and I had lasik, ask me how!" procedure.

I haven't ever heard about this... but if this is true, it sounds like you wouldn't need to have the surgury again so often to keep decent eye sight. Cool.

It's called PRK, but lasik is a more commonly known term for laser eye surgery.

AFAIK, PRK is older than LASIK.

The "new" LASIK procedure, IIRC, is called Waveform LASIK. From what I've heard it can correct errors made by the other types of surgery. I haven't been able to find info on it anywhere.

There is no possibility of creating a thin flap, thick flap, partial flap, buttonhole flap or corneal abrasion. No one has ever gone blind or needed a corneal transplant with Intralase.

Sounds sweet, thanks for the linky
