    Citation Excerpt :

    There is a growing market for new ophthalmic technologies to correct refractive errors, which offer a convenient alternative to contact lenses and spectacles [1]. Laser-based procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and, more recently, laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) and Epi-LASIK are meeting much of this demand [2–6]. An alternative approach is the insertion of a biostable polymer lens into the cornea to change the refractive power of the eye by either altering the curvature of the cornea or the refractive index of the material itself (an additive refractive keratoplasty procedure).
