It has been documented in medical papers that Nd:YAG laser surgery to a pregnant woman's cervix (neck of the womb) is a safe procedure if clinically indicated.

LASIK has been performed worldwide since the early 1990s and with the Hansatome Keratome only since early 1998. The prospect for long-term stability is very high, based on historical evidence of postoperative corneal healing. There is every reason for us to believe that these reports will continue to hold true.

In considering the long-term effects of TBI on the individual, it is most important to emphasize that there is no "typical" person with TBI.
