Abbott's iDesign System Creates 3-D Map of the Eye for Precise, Personalized LASIK Vision Treatment - NASA’s Newest Space Telescope is Calibrated by the Same Technology Used in LASIK
Years ago, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope launched with an error in the telescope’s mirror, which blurred its images for its first years in orbit. For NASA’s upcoming James Webb Space Telescope that is traveling much farther out in space, there can’t be a mistake. Abbott scientists created a technology to calibrate the mirrors on NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope, which is now the same technology used in the iDesign System that allows ophthalmologists to map the human eye with great precision for a highly personalized LASIK treatment.
