AI Article Synopsis

  • A new procedure called Lasik Xtra combines LASIK with corneal cross-linking to enhance corneal strength and stability.
  • It aims to improve the accuracy of vision correction and reduce the need for enhancement surgeries.
  • The article evaluates current clinical evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of this procedure.

Article Abstract

A new procedure which combines LASIK and corneal cross-linking (Lasik Xtra) has been proposed as an alternative to traditional LASIK. It is aimed at restoring strength to the cornea, increasing stability in visual outcomes, increasing the accuracy of the refractive correction, and potentially lowering enhancement rates. This article reviews the current clinical evidence which has been published on the topic and reviews both the safety and efficacy argument for the procedure.
