LASIK is a quite new technology. The first laser was approved for LASIK eye surgery in 1998. Refractive Eye Surgery is any eye surgery used to develop the refractive state of the eye and lessen the want for glasses. The most common methods today use lasers to reshape the cornea.”Lasers may be used to treat nonrefractive state” (for example: to seal a retinal tear), while radial keratotomy is an example of “refractive surgery” without
the use of a laser.
