The subspecialty continues to evolve dramatically, not only in terms of advancements in LASIK techniques but also in lenticular options available to give a patient the best possible visual result. Twenty years after its advent, LASIK is today the most widely done refractive procedure. However, as was evident in the discussions in Kuala Lumpur and Vienna, refractive surgery steps beyond traditional LASIK. Three key advancements were discussed in detail at the conferences—the VisuMax Femtosecond System, ReLEx and the femtosecond laser’s role in keratoplasties. VisuMax was appreciated for its precision, performance and infallible patient satisfaction. Many surgeons shared how the laser pulse rate of 500 kHz has helped the VisuMax to set new standards of efficiency, and hence scores over the frequency of 200 kHz. ReLEx, meanwhile, marks a strong step forward in laser vision correction by combining precise refractive femtosecond laser technology with lenticule extraction. The predictable results which the technique offers are a boon to surgeons and patients alike. Apart from the role of VisuMax in procedural LASIK, speakers acknowledged that the femtosecond system presents a comprehensive option for keratoplasty and enables superior corneal grafting with minimal complications. Indeed, one can certainly think beyond LASIK with the VisuMax.
