In: 2nd Annual International Military Refractive Surgery Symposium; January 2008; San Antonio, TX, USA. This study demonstrated that aviators have increased secondary astigmatism and vertical coma, which may play an important role in creating 'supervision'.

In: 3rd Annual International Military Refractive Surgery Symposium; 5-7 January 2009; San Antonio, TX, USA. Anterior segment imaging modalities such as the Visante OCT can be used to accurately measure IntraLase LASIK flaps and may provide an alternative to intraoperative ultrasound pachymetry.

This is one of the first studies to retrospectively investigate whether skin pigmentation is related to formation of haze after PRK.

This is one of the first clinical studies to demonstrate the safety of a particular type of artificial tear after PRK.
