Laser Eye Surgery

Encyclopedia Britannica on laser eye surgery (or LASIK, laser-assisted in situ ker­atomileu­sis):

“laser-based eye surgery com­monly used to cor­rect near­sight­ed­ness (myopia), far­sight­ed­ness (hyper­opia), and astig­ma­tism. LASIK eye surgery was devel­oped in the early 1990s, when oph­thal­mol­o­gists com­bined the tech­nique of ker­atomileu­sis, in which the cornea is removed, frozen, reshaped, and replaced, with the tech­nique of pho­tore­frac­tive ker­a­te­c­tomy (PRK), in which a laser is used to reshape the cornea.”

I per­son­ally am short sighted, accord­ing to my opti­cian directly as a result of neglect­ing to take breaks when using computers.

Just let­ting y’all know I’m still knock­ing about. Working on some more panora­mas, and some more ran­dom illustrations.

I saw an info-graphic this week done in univers con­densed and as I was look­ing at it all I could think was “my god, I’m being shouted at!” So I did this in response:

Univers Condensed: The Shouty Font.
