Durrie was also involved either as an investigator or as a medical monitor on nearly every clinical trial that led to FDA approval of a laser technology and procedures used in laser vision correction today. He has participated in over 150 FDA clinical studies, and trains surgeons from around the world on new surgical procedures and techniques.
