And so far, U.C. Irvine is the only facility in the world with a laser dedicated solely to this procedure.
I reckon,realistically we're lookiong at years before it goes 'mainstream' in even the US,let alone here,it takes that long i should imagine to even get approval for safety etc

Id say that within 3 years it will go mainstream....or at least thats what Ive been alluded to.
Laser usage as a whole has been passed years ago thus the concept is not new. The use for it on the eye has been passed years ago....as we now have all the eye laser treatments.....the only other aspect is for cutting...which shouldnt be a major hurdle.......at least I hope not!
