Research on Laser eye surgery

Research on Laser eye surgery

As none of our group knew anything about Laser eye surgery we decided that we should break this subject into sections with each of us researching different sections so that the workload for this was equally balanced between us throughout the project.

The sections I chose to research were on the history of laser eye surgery, the different methods of laser eye surgery, and the technology involved in laser eye surgery.

I found these sections quite hard to do, which surprised me as I thought it would be easy. It was difficult because most of the websites I found were aimed at doctors and other medical professionals and were written by medical professionals; making it, because of the medical language used, quite hard for me to understand. However, with persistence I did find websites written for the general public and these sites were simpler and easier to understand as they were written in plain English, using words that members of the general public could understand; and more importantly which I could understand.

I looked at some sites were companies offered laser eye surgery but found these sites did not give the information I needed for our project. I therefore navigated to other independent websites such as The Guardian and found these far more informative.
