Your statement again implies that I have said loss of contrast
sensitivity does not occur. That is not what I have said. In fact it
is not what I have said twice today.

It is a pity you had a poor outcome, but your poor outcome is not the
norm. The vast majority of refractive surgery patients are not
problematic and are satisfied with the results of their surgery. That
may not help you, but denying this fact diverts attention from what
may be learned from your experience to whether or not you are
misrepresenting facts.
