PROFILE |
 |
LaserSight has an eye for vision care. The company's LaserSight Technologies subsidiary makes excimer lasers, which surgically correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LaserSight's LaserScan LSX is approved by the FDA for photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser-in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) treatment of nearsightedness. The PRK process shaves microscopic tissue layers off the cornea, reshaping the eye, and the LASIK system opens the cornea and removes tissue inside. The company is awaiting FDA approval of the treatment for astigmatism. LaserSight has a marketing agreement with Becton Dickinson for its MicroShape family of keratome products, which are used in conjunction with LASIK.
