on a relative basis, the downside from LASIK
is so much larger than Intacts it is hard to imagine anyone choosing LASIK. And I don't agree with your glib characterization of the removal of Intacts. There may be residual effects in some cases, not all, and they only come into play in certain lighting conditions.

Perhaps reversible isn't the proper word. Adjustable, as in being able to put in a new implant to correct for effects of aging etc., was more of what I had in mind.

I don't know the extent of scarring when the Keravision procedure is completed. I'm guessing it is no worse than what a laser might do to the eye.
