WELCOME TO THE ALT.LASIK-EYES NEWSGROUP
The primary purpose of this newsgroup is to discuss issues related to
Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK), however all refractive surgery
techniques such as Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK), Laser Assisted
sub-Epithelium Keratomileusis (LASEK), Conductive Keratoplasty (CK),
Phakic Intraocular Lenses (P-IOL), Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), and
others are commonly discussed.
Readers are advised that opinions expressed here may come from eye
care professionals (optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians,
ophthalmic researchers) as well as the general public. Alt.lasik-eyes
is an unmoderated newsgroup. Any person may say what he or she
desires without significant probability of consequence, however
courtesy is encouraged.
From time to time any newsgroup will experience posters who espouse
certain viewpoints that are misleading, hoaxes, mythology, disproved
theories, and/or outright lies. If someone is desperately trying to
convince you of something or uses demeaning or abusive language, you
might be correct in assuming that person has an agenda that has little
or no relation to your individual circumstances, and that person's
views are not consistent with current science. If it sounds too good
(or too bad) to be true, it probably is.
Please refrain from replying to posters in an effort to denounce,
ridicule, embarrass or otherwise engage in non-productive discussion.
That's called "feeding the trolls" and is usually without positive
value. If you are bothered by the tone or content of a thread, don't
read it or learn how to eliminate all postings by the author. This is
called kill-filing or filtering. For more information on how to set
up filters, please see the documentation for your newsgroup reader or
go to:
http://www.hyphenologist.co.uk/killfile/killfilefaq.htm
When gathering information, be aware of the source and use good
judgment. Participants who provide their true identities offer the
opportunity to research their background in consideration of the
validity of their views. In all situations, do not make vital
healthcare decisions without being personally examined by a
knowledgeable practitioner.
There are many Internet sources for information regarding refractive
surgery. Some websites devoted to the subject with regular
participants in this newsgroup are: (in order oldest to newest)

Nonprofit organization, Glenn Hagele, founder.

inspiration.

| You have me confused here...
You listed off 6 LASIK websites, 5 of which are run by nuts and
malcontents. How about listing off the 3,922 LASIK websites which are
not run by nuts and malcontents?

| Glenn,
Youv'e got to be kidding about asking for civil discourse here. You
know you are wasting your breath with the likes of that sorry little
girl Barnyard trolling here.I'm sure she'll be chiming in on this
thread soon.
And why on earth would you post the lunatic fringe websites with your
own here? You'll only diminish your own.

| As my regular post says, there is no moderator in this newsgroup.
Listed are the websites of people who often post in this newsgroup. I
submit that the regular poster's credibility (or limitation thereof),
agenda, or bias (real or apparent) will quickly become evident after a
trip to his or her website. It may be important to consider the
poster's perspective before considering the poster's advice.
