- A total of 375 Servicemembers underwent these procedures, with results showing that 94-95% achieved 20/20 vision or better, with significant improvements in far vision for LASIK and PRK specifically.
- Overall, all three surgical options provided excellent visual outcomes and minimal side effects, enhancing daily activities for the Servicemembers six months post-operation.
