I'm in a similar boat. What other similar tools have you found yourself using? For example, Ive been learning the hell out of wget, but I find my tool library lacking or lacking in trust.

I forgot to mention this in my other response. Most doctors will use the same equipment in the same area. For PRK they do a tomographic scan of your eye to determine a number of parameters, and then your doctor pre-programs the procedure. I

I would add to this that making lists like this is akin to reading an encyclopedic textbook front to back; theres no continuity or hydrating component that clarifies the deeper meanings implied. In fact, these lists are the scientific equiv
