Editing LASIK (section)

=== Experimental techniques ===
* "plain" LASIK: [[LASEK]], [[Epi-LASIK]],
* Wavefront-guided PRK,
* advanced [[intraocular lens]]es.
* [[Femtosecond laser intrastromal vision correction]]: using all-femtosecond correction, for example, [[Femtosecond Lenticule EXtraction]], [[FLIVC]], or IntraCOR),
* Keraflex: a thermobiochemical solution which has received the [[CE marking|CE Mark]] for refractive correction.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.avedro.com/PressReleases/Avedro_CEMark_20April2010.pdf|title=Avedro Receives the European Union's CE Mark for its Vedera Ophthalmic Device|date=20 April 2010|website=Avedro.com|access-date=20 December 2018|archive-date=4 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131104093214/http://www.avedro.com/PressReleases/Avedro_CEMark_20April2010.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> and is in European clinical trials for the correction of myopia and keratoconus.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://bmctoday.net/crstodayeurope/2010/05/article.asp?f=industry-interview-aiming-to-change-the-face-of-refractive-surgeryagain |title=CRSTodayEurope.com > May 2010 > Industry interview: Aiming to change the face of refractive surgery—again |website=Bmctoday.net |date=16 April 2010 |access-date=10 December 2011 |archive-date=18 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110818113109/http://bmctoday.net/crstodayeurope/2010/05/article.asp?f=industry-interview-aiming-to-change-the-face-of-refractive-surgeryagain |url-status=live }}</ref>

* LASIK with the IntraLase femtosecond laser: early trials comparing to the LASIK with microkeratomes for the correction of myopia suggest no significant differences in safety or efficacy. However, the femtosecond laser has a potential advantage in predictability, although this finding was not significant.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Chen S, Feng Y, Stojanovic A, Jankov MR, Wang Q | title = IntraLase femtosecond laser vs mechanical microkeratomes in LASIK for myopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis | journal = Journal of Refractive Surgery | volume = 28 | issue = 1 | pages = 15–24 | date = January 2012 | pmid = 22233436 | doi = 10.3928/1081597x-20111228-02 | url = http://www.laservalais.ch/wp-content/uploads/Journal-of-Refractive-Surgery-Janvier-2012.pdf | access-date = 1 November 2015 | archive-date = 7 January 2022 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220107065657/https://www.laservalais.ch/wp-content/uploads/Journal-of-Refractive-Surgery-Janvier-2012.pdf | url-status = dead }}</ref>
