It's not available everywhere. My husband was lucky that we moved to AZ where they were the first to do the technique in the US. It's been used in Europe for 15 years or so. It's not widely available in the US or wasn't two years ago. His alternative as a someone who was not a candidate for Lasik was PRK. He wasn't excited about that since it has a long recovery time and a higher complication rate. He had perfect vision the day after his surgery with IOL, but had a monster headache when he came home.
