A novel approach to refractive correction uses the femtosecond laser to change the refractive index of the cornea without cutting, ablating or removing tissue.
“LIRIC (laser-induced refractive index change) is a revolutionary technology because it’s a much less invasive approach to conventional refractive surgery. By staying below the optical breakdown — or tissue damage — threshold, LIRIC avoids cutting or ablating tissue and there is no need for epithelial debridement, flap creation or lenticular extraction. Animal studies have also shown that LIRIC does not affect
