1.   In interviews the day after their LASIK procedures, both said they could see distant objects clearly with the treated eye.

2.   One eye had been left untreated, to serve as a comparison for the treated eye.

3.   Four months after treatment, several tests showed the animals had regained at least some sight in the treated eye.

4.   The dogs also seemed to be using the treated eye to look around, Bennett said.

5.   The dogs were much better at avoiding objects on the same side of their bodies as the treated eye than on the other side.

6.   The treated eyes showed a better response than untreated eyes did, although it was not as good as normal dog eyes show.

7.   However, they found that if the infants managed to retain vision despite being untreated, that vision fared better than the treated eyes.
