If you would like to verify the truths and myths associated with laser vision correction, we invite you to our earlier post available here here. In this post, we will try to answer another portion of frequently asked questions that are not silent, despite the fact that the laser vision correction procedure is becoming increasingly popular and is better described on our blog as well.
The history of the SMILE method, a one-stage procedure that combines the advantages of the LASEK and LASIK methods, dates back to 2006, when Prof. Walter Sekundo performed the first operation using this method. Little did Sekundo become… an obstetrician gynecologist.
While we take care of our skin and hair for granted, we often act as if we forget that equal care is required for all organs of our body, and the slogan “prevention is better than cure” never loses its relevance.

It seems that your knowledge of laser vision correction is slightly overdue….
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not some unusual variety of intelligence that extraterrestrial beings are endowed with, but a feature of devices that we are able to equip them with, given sufficiently advanced programming skills and knowledge of how Big Data (very large data sets) works.
