What are the current competitors to PRK? Are there
any new technologies looming on the horizon that
might be a threat to PRK (and VISX in particular)?

The way I see it, PRK is the only procedure that is
non-invasive (no cutting, as in RK which I know about).
If I were a patient, that would be a big factor.

Does anyone have any info on Keravision? They are going
through FDA trials now for their Intraocular Ring which
allows reversal of the procedure by removing the ring.
It doesn't look as promising as PRK to me... any other
opinions? Thanks.
