   [5] [6] Due to increased depth of field in both eyes, the distance vision is significantly better than would otherwise be anticipated. Laser Blended Vision is a shape profile modification to the standard excimer laser eye surgery method that has been performed tens of millions of times worldwide, mostly as LASIK. [7]

[2] [3] LASIK is very similar to another surgical corrective procedure, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK ...

   Diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) is a sterile inflammation of the cornea which may occur after refractive surgery, such as LASIK. Its incidence has been estimated to be 1 in 500 patients, [ 1 ] though this may be as high as 32% in some cases.

   Before corneal refractive surgery such as LASIK, SMILE, and PRK, people must be examined for possible risk factors such as keratoconus. [3]Abnormal corneal topography compromises of keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or forme fruste keratoconus with an I-S value of 1.4 or more [4] is the most significant risk factor.
