Study results are not predictions.
The same procedure can perform differently across populations, devices, definitions, and follow-up periods. Results remain study-specific and are never silently pooled.

Make sense of the numbers
What the studies tell us, what they leave out, and which questions are worth taking to a consultation.
Choosing Between LASIK, SMILE, PRK and ICL
There is no universal winner. Here is a more honest way to compare the main refractive procedures.
Read guide →Dry eye after laser eye surgery: what the timeline actually tells us
One week, one month and three months are not versions of the same number. They are different moments in recovery.
Read guide →20/20 is not the whole story
The eye chart matters. So do night vision, comfort, predictability and the details that only patients tend to mention.
