Clearly, the Tour de France is as much his race as it is any other entrant with one particular difference: Armstrong has felt the glory of winning cycling's most prominent position and continues to maintain his quest for experiencing it for the third time.

Laser in Situ Keratomileusis or �LASIK�
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report
discusses the surgical technique most commonly known as LASIK
(laser in situ keratomileusis). It is the most promising and most
effective surgical correction for poor vision currently
available. With the LASIK procedure, the surgeon uses a
razor-like instrument to gently lift a flap of the patient�s
cornea and then uses a laser to reshape the area that has been
exposed. That process of reshaping causes the way the eye focuses
light to change. As a result of that change, the procedure
corrects nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (presbyopia),
and some astigmatism. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
