Potential Advantages of PAI-LASIK
LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT LASIK PROCEDURE
Unable to treat higher degrees of myopia without excessive tissue removal.
Because any amount of corneal tissue removal may result in a potential weakening of the underlying posterior corneal stroma, refractive results can be somewhat unpredictable.
Procedure is nonreversible.
POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES OF PAI-LASIK
Offers the potential to treat a broader range of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism so more patients are candidates for the procedure.
No or minimal corneal tissue is removed so posterior stroma remains intact.
Reversible for hyperopia, astigmatism and mild-to- moderate myopia.
