Now you can have normal vision all the time, thanks to a pianless procedure that takes less than five minutes. Recently approved by the FDA, excimer laser treatment may become one of the most common medical procedures performed in the United States. Explaining this phenomenal breakthrough in layman's terms, Dr. Andrew I.

He describes their emotions, especially the incredible joy of suddenly being able to see again. Filled with thoughtful and illuminating information, as well as diagrams designed to help you easily understand the operation's technical aspects, The Eye Laser Miracle is the guide for anyone who wants better vision.
