		<description><![CDATA[Night glare and starbursts are a potential side-effect of any eye surgery. Many people who have never had eye surgery, if they are careful observers, can notice some starburst, halo, glare, or shadows in their vision under low light conditions, especially if they need to wear glasses or contact lenses. It is common to notice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the United States there are two main manufacurers of lasers to create LASIK flaps. Consumers may recognize the terms &#8220;iLASIK&#8221; and &#8220;Z-LASIK&#8221; as descriptors of a blade-free LASIK procedure and wonder what the difference is. Both lasers boast improvements in flap thickness precision but only the IntraLase has certain safety features that prevent certain [...]]]></description>

When the IntraLase laser is combined with AMO VISX&#8217;s proprietary CustomVue wavefront-guided treatment, the resulting procedure is termed &#8220;iLASIK&#8221;. The IntraLase laser has gone through several upgrades since it was first developed to improve it&#8217;s safety [...]]]></description>
