NEW technology is offering hope to those with serious myopia and astigmatism. The technology has the ability to track rotation of the eyeball during laser eye surgery. This should allow for adjustments fpr eye rotation during Lasik surgery. This will ensure that the laser beam aims at the correct spot on the cornea at all times. These patients were previously deterred from opting for Laser-Assisted In situ Keratomileusis or LASIK. LASIK is a type of refractive laser eye surgery used to correct myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness) and astigmatism. The new technology is called Zyoptix Advanced Control Eyetracking (ACE).
