Skane, all. is this true?

The Sunrise procedure corrects hyperopia (far sightedness) and is non-invasive. The Lasik procedure at Emory university IS invasive (it cuts). Two different things. True?

If so, there may have been some low volume panic selling by those who don't understand the difference between farsightedness and nearsightedness or the difference between non-invasive and invasive procedures.

The Emory procedure was seen on television quite a lot recently, especially in Atlanta. I'm pretty sensitive about what one does to my eyes, and since I can see with glasses or contacts, I'm very reluctant to let anyone slice the tip off my cornia to marginally improve my vision. Glasses or contacts benefit most people with corrective needs.

To eliminate glasses, I would plunk down $2500 for a non-invasive procedure. As I understood hyperopia, we're dealing with the need of most over 45s to eliminate bifocals if posible. Does the excimer procedure correct, or is Sunrise still the only remaining solution?

The best news I see is that if the FDA so quickly approved slicing and dicing, approval for SNRS should be a cakewalk.
