Abstract
Refractive surgery today: is there innovation or stagnation?
Highlights
Refractive surgery, both corneal and intraocular, has undergone an explosive evolution during the last 25 years
A classic example of this is Radial Keratotomy, which was extensively performed in Europe, the US and Latin America at the end of the 80’s and early 90’s
This challenge forced the companies involved in the ophthalmic development of the excimer laser technology to immediately perform clinical studies or refractive corneal surgery, which reached its peak in the first and second decades after its introduction in Europe
