LASIK is now the vision correction procedure of choice for many ophthalmologists worldwide. Instead of removing the surface epithelium with the laser and exposing many nerve endings (as in PRK), the surgeon performing LASIK uses a motor-powered microkeratome to create a "flap." The flap is then lifted and reflected back, allowing a computer guided Excimer laser (cold laser) to use light pulses to remodel the corneal tissue underneath. Afterward, the flap is gently positioned back onto the cornea. Since this procedure is less traumatic to the outer surface of the eye, vision is restored more quickly and the patient's discomfort is reduced. Most patients report greater comfort after surgery and can generally drive two to three days after the surgery.

The AcrySof ReSTOR lens is a foldable IOL that represents breakthrough
technology because of its unique, patented optic design, which allows
patients to experience the highest level of freedom from glasses ever
achieved in IOL clinical trials. 
The AcrySof ReSTOR IOL uses a
combination of three complementary technologies: apodization,
diffraction and refraction, to allow patients to experience a full
range of high-quality vision without the need for reading glasses or
bifocals. This range of vision without glasses is achieved through the
optical properties of the IOL.
