| This idea turned up on Doctormyeye. I think it is a good one. People
are encouraged to distrubute this thing widely. So I'll put a copy
here. Maybe people will think harder about LASIK once they see this?
Ever wish you had some ready information about LASIK complications,
complete with references and links to hand out to others? The kind of
information, perhaps, that YOU would have liked to have seen before
LASIK?
Copy and paste the information below to your desktop where it will
always be handy to print or copy into an e-mail. You could paste
multiple copies on a single sheet to make small copies for your wallet.
Larger copies are perfect for posting on bulletin boards at your
church, gym, supermarket, on campuses - wherever they may be viewed.
Copies stashed in your purse, briefcase, and car along with tape and
perhaps some tacks will make posting convenient for you. You could hand
out small copies at concerts, airports, malls. It is up to us to inform
others about LASIK complications. Don't you wish someone had talked to
you?
LASIK DAMAGES EVERY EYE!
Recent study concludes "Permanent pathologic [disease] changes were
present in all post-LASIK corneas".
Cornea. 24(1):92-102, January 2005.
"The LASIK flap never heals... the LASIK flap can be easily dislodged
from simple contact with the eye such as a fingerpoke."
WebMDHealth http://my.webmd.com/content/article/61/68084.htm .
WILL YOU RISK PERMANENT, UNCOMFORTABLE DRY EYE?
LONG TERM NERVE DAMAGE: Study finds corneal nerves cut by LASIK
are <60% of normal density 3 years after LASIK! Investigative
Ophthalmology and Visual Science. 2004;45:3991-3996.
