New 'Bladeless' LASIK Eye Technique Equals Older Method THURSDAY, May 4 (HealthDay News) -- Two types of LASIK laser vision-correction surgery work equally well six months after the procedure, according to a Mayo Clinic study that used a variety of vision and eye health measurements to compare the two. "At six months after surgery, there are no differences between the eyes that had bladeless or microkeratome LASIK with respect to visual acuity (vision measured by reading an eye chart), contrast sensitivity (ability to discriminate bright objects from dark objects), or in perception of stray light or glare, such as glare from oncoming headlights," study investigator and Mayo Clinic ophthalmologist Dr. Sanjay Patel said in a prepared statement.
