Two questions for you WizKid:

What to you believe to be the safe minimum untouched cornea after
LASIK required in a healthy eye?

How long can a 20-year-old patient who has an endothelial cell count
of 1800/mm2 safely have an Artisan/Verisyse phakic intraocular lens
implanted, considering that there are no other complications?

Please explain the methodology behind your opinions.

There is a short answer to your question...Jan Worst. He is brilliant
and one of the most patient centered ophthalmologists in the world. Go
to Holland and talk to him about LASIK, other refractive approaches,
and his Artisan Lens. You may learn something. Too many dismiss him as
eccentric and old. It is their loss. He has been prophetic more than
once..WK

Your really can't answer a simple question, can you WizKid. All flash
and no substance. Perhaps you just don't know the answers.

I didn't need to travel to Holland, but I have discussed the
Artisan/Verisye phakic intraocular lens with Jan Worst. From him and
representatives of his firm is where my first impressions of the value
and limitations of this type of P-IOL were garnered.

Now, back to the questions that you have thus far refused to answer or
even provide a relevant response:

What to you believe to be the safe minimum untouched cornea after
LASIK required in a healthy eye?

How long can a 20-year-old patient who has an endothelial cell count
of 1800/mm2 safely have an Artisan/Verisyse phakic intraocular lens
implanted, considering that there are no other complications?

Please explain the methodology behind your opinions.
