WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avedro today announced that in preparation for its US clinical trial, a select group of US refractive surgeons have just completed Lasik Xtra procedure training under Gustavo Tamayo, MD, at the Bogota Laser Center in Bogota, Colombia. Lasik Xtra is a two minute procedure used in conjunction with standard LASIK to provide added strength and stability to the cornea during and after a Lasik procedure.
