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?
