First Patients Successfully Treated in Australian Clinical Study in Eyecare
Speaking at a Norwood Abbey press briefing today, Brisbane ophthalmologist, Dr. Peter Stewart, the Australian eye surgeon who used the procedure on the patients in the clinical trial, said, “Epi-LASIK is a major advancement over current LVC procedures.” Dr. Stewart also stated, “I have performed more than 15,000 LVC procedures over 10 years using current technology, and there is no doubt Epi-LASIK achieves better visual results for the patient, without the associated complications, risk or discomfort. The most significant and appealing aspect of Epi-LASIK is that the procedure does not involve the cutting of the eye or the application of alcohol, both of which can lead to complications or delay healing.
