On Fox News Chicago broadcast an audio tape in which Dr. Dello Russo
complained to Alcon that their LadarVision lasers were defective.

Hagele, who has provided a "certification" to Dr. Dello Russo, has published
press releases claiming that Alcon LadarVision lasers are NOT defective.

So clearly, someone is telling the truth, and someone is lying.

Dello Russo uses new LASIK technology, called LADARVision, which tracks and
scans the eye, al_ lowing the laser to correct for tiny eye movements. Itīs
sometimes called the flying spot laser. Dello Russo said he has performed
5,000 LADAR Vision procedures and that 98 percent of these patients now see
20/20. He said these patients have had "zero" complications, though he has
not yet published his results.




Hagele is hiding

Glenn Hagele simply can't think of anything to say, now that he has been
proven a liar and a fraud.

Alcon got busted on Fox News Chicago

Tonight Fox News broadcast a not-so-secure tape recorded conversations
between doctors who claimed that LadarVision lasers were defective. Among
the doctors whose voices appeard on the audio tape was Dr. Joseph Dello
Russo.

Dr. Joseph Dello Russo is "certified" by Glenn Hagele of CRSQA, a front
group for the lasik industry, that poses as a patient advocacy group. As you
remember, Hagele issued a press within hours of my posting an article on the
alt.lasik-eyes newsgroup critical of Alcon. In his press release, Hagele
claimed to have performed a comprehensive study that found no problems with
Alcon lasers.

Fox also obtained and displayed excerpts from documents obtained in
deposition with regard to a lawsuit filed against Alcon by surgeons.

One of the documents appeared to be a spreadsheet containing a listing of
retreatment rates for patients, broken down by doctor. The reporter asked
his own surgeon about retreatment rates, but the retreatment rates quoted by
the doctor didn't appear to jive with the numbers that appeared in Alcon's
spreadsheet. The numbers in the spreadsheet appeared to be quite a bit
higher.

I doubt that too many people in Chicago are going to be running to their
surgeon and asking for lasik.

The story will likely get re-broadcast throughout the entire Fox network.
