Say NO to Lasik

Lasik Problems - Dry eyes, halo vision, blurring, loss of night vision. And now cataracts.  NYTimes just ran a great article on severe problems with Lasik and FDA’s investigation into this cosmetic procedure. For now, you should hold off from doing Lasik. Patients are anyway, since the economy has turned down. Only problem is, Lasik clinics and doctors have increased marketing and discounts to bring in patients. Not A Good Thing Right Now.

ONLY 95% of patients are happy! There is NOT enough! For a procedure to be considered safe and risk-free, 99.8% of patients need to be happy.

For 5% to have problems like dry eyes, halo vision, blurring, loss of night vision and cataracts, no one should consider doing this UNNECESSARY cosmetic procedure.

I wear glasses, and 2 out 3 Eye doctors have tried hard to get me to have Lasik. When obiviously I am a poor candidate, I have somewhat dry eyes and large pupils to start with.

Can you imagine pernamently losing the quality of vision?

I wonder if in actuality about 30% of people have unpleasant side effects they live with, with only 5% reporting more serious problems? I say this, because it seems like people do not in fact complain much, perferring to suffer.

This photo shows what many Lasik patients see after their operation.
Halos and loss of nightvision, is what many Lasik patients experience. It goes
away in some. But not all.

Photo of side effects blur, haloing, loss of night vision in Lasik patients afterwards, when they have had their procedure.
Las Vegas is not a place to have poor vision. This is unfortunately what
many Lasik patients suffer after having this cosmetic procedure.
