LASIK Laser Eye Surgery Blog at Eye Surgery USATuesday, March 2, 2010Corrective Eye Surgery Always Moving ForwardLike all surgery techniques, LASIK eye surgery is always evolving. A procedure called Corneal Inlays and Onlays are currently being tested for FDA approval and may change they way corrective eye surgery is performed. Corneal inlays and onlays are made of biocompatible materials that are similar to the clear surface of the eye. Functioning like contact lenses to correct vision, inlays and onlays do not need regular removal or ongoing care. Some of the complications associated with procedures like LASIK and PRK can be avoided through the use of corneal inlays and onlays because the eye’s natural surface tissue is virtually untouched. In LASIK and PRK, laser energy reshapes the outermost part of the eye (cornea) to alter the way light rays enter the eye. With corneal inlays or onlays inserted just below the eye's surface, laser energy some day could be used to shape this artificial material instead of the eye itself.
