Today, most people are aware of the benefits of Lasik eye surgery for the treatment of an eyesight condition better known as double vision. However, there is a new procedure called laser blended vision surgery.

Lasik eye surgery became a popular treatment procedure because of its success in treating the eye's difficulty in focusing up-close objects. This is done by correcting the vision of one eye for distance while the other, for close vision. What is not covered by Lasik however, is the middle range of vision so that a gap in vision resulted.

With the new procedure, there will no longer be any vision gap because it is able to increase the depth of field for each eye. Laser blended vision surgery can also treat other vision impairments such as near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism.

The average time the procedure takes to be done is 10 to 15 minutes while the usual recovery period is only a few hours. Reported rate of success of the new procedure is a whopping 97%.
