It has been fifty years since the LASER was invented and 25 years ago was when the first laser vision correction procedure was performed.  About five years laser or almost 20 years ago the very first LASIK or instrastromal laser vision correction was performed in Italy, and it has been 15 years since Dishler Laser Institute began performing LASIK in Colorado.  We were also about the first to offer the all laser method of vision correction approximately 10 years ago.  Some of these events are being commerated this week in Paris at the ESCRS, a meeting of European and international doctors who are celebrating the changes that lasers have made in the field of vision correction.
