Another big advance in the works could provide nearly all patients with better than 20/20 vision. Today's lasers, and the computer programs that run them, assume all corneas are more or less spherical. Scientists are developing instruments that will map the entire surface of the cornea and make point-by-point alterations to smooth out individual aberrations. Such carefully customized reshaping of the cornea could make astounding improvements in vision more of a sure thing...
...Harvard men's basketball team, it was such a 3-0 homestretch--including a historic 87-79 overtime win against vaunted Princeton before a sellout crowd in Lavietes Pavilion--that put this year's team and its senior class on the map of Harvard hoops history...
