I had my enhancement done using the LADARvsion. My initial surgery was
done using another type of laser. I could not be happier with my
results. The clinic I went to changed to the LADARvision in 2003 with
excellent results.

Testimonials with a sample size of 1 don't count. The FDA document
proved that these machines are pieces of crap. For example:

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Specific complaints reviewed during the inspection revealed the
following:

a . Complaint Record RS030392 received on April 14, 2003, involving the
LADARVision=AE 4000 Beta, lot number L4B1023S references the laser
stopped firing during surgery at 92% complete. The Field Service
Engineer (FSE) found arcing in the laser chassis assembly. The FSE
adjusted components to prevent future arcing. The complaint record does
not document and confirm that an investigation was conducted to
determine the root cause of the reported problem. The record also fails
to document the justification for not conducting an investigation and
is not signed and dated by responsible personnel.

b=2E Complaint Record RS041106 received on August 23, 2004, involving
LADARVision=AE 4000 Beta, lot number L4B1023S references the laser not
firing. An FSE replaced the laser control electronics that failed. The
replaced component was evaluated and verified the failure was caused by
a broken connector. The record does not document and confirm that an
investigation was conducted to determine the root cause of the broken
connector. The record also fails to document the justification for not
conducting an investigation and is not signed and dated by responsible
personnel.

c=2E Complaint Record RS041047 received on August 11, 2004, involving a
refurbished LADARVision=AE 4000 Beta, lot number L4B1090S referencing
noise from the laser with a system failed error message. A similar
complaint, RS030392 referenced a malfunctioning translator, which was
replaced because of faulty/defective bearings. The complaint was
classified as complaint class 823- Noise Coming from system. The
complaint was more appropriately determined a translator malfunction,
which is complaint class 833. The malfunction causes the laser to stop
operating or firing resulting in surgery being terminated, causing
under correction, which is not considered by your firm to be an injury.

d=2E Complaint Record RS030539 received on May 16, 2003, involving
LADARVision=AE 4000 Beta, lot number L4B1022S referencing loss of
tracking during surgery. Surgery was stopped at 57% complete. The FSE
balanced the infrared pulse and changed the DSP gains. The record does
not document an investigation that was conducted to determine the
root-cause of the report to conduct an investigation into the reported
malfunction.

e=2E Complaint Record RS031262 received on November 14, 2003, involving
LADARVision=AE 4000 Beta, lot number L4B1022S references a laser unable
to track. The FSE confirmed the failure mode and replaced the zoom
motor. The Manufacturing Engineer (ME) confirmed that the motor
performed erratically when operating under a torque and will not
reverse direction when prompted by software. A similar complaint
FS030539 (noted above) does not document that an investigation was
conducted to determine the root cause for the zoom motor failure or the
justification for not conducting an investigation into the malfunction.

Again and again Brent Hanson of LasikFraud.com misrepresents or
outright lies. One or two documents from years ago does not a
determination make. Anyone who desires can visit the FDA website, look
at ALL the relative documentation, and see that the Alcon LADARVision
4000 is currently approved by the FDA for use in the United States in
good standing. Issues of concern that have been raised in the past
have been resolved or are being resolved.

Even the worst laser system will get great results most of the time.
My opinion is that the best surgeons with the best lasers get optimal
results 99.99% of the time. The worst surgeons with the worst lasers
still get optimail results 80% of the time.

And the places with the 80% are those that make there money doing
enhancements. The places I have in mind charge as little as $299 per
eye for PRK, yet charge $750 per eye for an enhancement... so when 20%
of those people paying $299 come back to pay an additianal $750....
they are now talking about $1049 per eye... $$$cha-ching$$$

And I just thought of something that has never crossed my mind
before!!! Those $299 per eye prices are advertised for LASIK... yet
those $299 per eye procedures are done on the NIDEK which they only do
PRK on... they use the VISX for the LASIK... and the $299 price does
not cover the VISX laser due to royalties they must pay. So there is
some extreme false advertixing going on there. Those low prices are
for PRK, not LASIK.

Hey Hanson... there's a class action suit you can file and win
on...maybe... LVI has gotten away with all sorts of schenanigans over
and over and over again by paying "fines" aka payoffs/bribes to
attorney generals of various states.

Fines are much like "extravanances" sold by the Catholic Church -
which is what led to the rchism in the church with Martin Luther (not
Jr.). Extravagances were like letters of official forgiveness for
such sins as adultery, lying, etc. that people could PURCHASE from
the Catholic Church. Fines are things that do not benefit the
victim.. they are payoffs to the enforcers. It would be nice if the
victims of various things were the beneficiaries of those "fines".
Local and state governments use fines as a source of funding for
themselves.
