The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the federal agency
responsible for the approval of medications and medical devices.
The FDA does not approve medical procedures, just the devices and
drugs used.
The FDA has approved many medical devices used for conventional
or custom
wavefront

Bladeless Lasik,

refractive surgery procedures. The FDA website carries a wealth
of information, but is not always easy to find. To help locate
relevant information, visit the
