| Minarik.. you are insane. And you message below points out yet again
what your obsession is with trying to scare people from LASIK.
I mentioned that the number of LASIK procedures is approaching 10
million. You seem to be too interested in the fluctuations of how
many are done - which is fairly irrelevant and not what I was talking
about. I was obviously pointing out that there have been millions of
procedures done, and an incredibly high success rate. As a matter of
fact, it's the most predictable, most successful, most performed
surgery ever.
The RATE of new procedures is something like 1.5 million per year and
is not increasing much. The main reason for that is that there isn't
an endless supply of LASIK patents. Of course there are new people
being born everyday - and a percentage of them will be myopic, but
many people who are LASIK candidates have already had the surgery.
Sexual dysfunction from LASIK? Do you blame your own sexual
dysfunction on your obesity? I can't believe that a "doctor" is
publically calling anybody a "prick". It's disgusting that you are
able to put that DR in front of your name.
