LASIK is approved mate.
It just gets some doctors excited - you have to do other tests etc.
As far as i know (and someone with actual facts please correct me if Im wrong), Japan was the last to not approve it, and now they have. Even though I dont think ANA does.
I think that all Asian countries approve it - with a battery of additional tests as well.
I think cataracts are the same.
Im happy to be corrected if someone has RECENT ACTUAL facts.
Eternity.
