a documentary by Nathan Liu featuring first-hand accounts of living with a visual impairment.
Research
The human eye is extremely vulnerable to direct laser injury and maintaining good vision is an important determinant in success of military operations, and even survival of military personnel in theatre.
Ask the Expert
Question: I have read that many soldiers have LASIK surgery (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) on their eyes before going to combat zones in the middle east, and that some develop severe dry eye syndrome after they are deployed. Is there something that can prevent the complications for these servicemen and women?
