Trusted LASIK surgeons and some highly regarded expert LASIK surgeons in response to a news segment on the ABC television entitled â? 20/20 Hindsight: LASIK ????? now dangerous and security issues and address of satisfaction with LASIK.


The ABC News story featured

Morris Waxler, PhD, a former member of the FDA, which helped promote LASIK in 1995, has now criticized LASIK. Asked if he would be? LASIK never recommend someone you care about â? Dr. Waxler said â? Absolutely not.a? R. Doyle Stulting, MD, PhD, George O Waring III, MD, James J. Salt, MD, James McCulley, MD, Douglas Koch, MD, Kerry Solomon, MD, Jayne Weiss, MD, and Marian Macsai, MD LASIK with all the experts with proven expertise in strong disagreement with this opinion. Their common response is as follows:

â? Modern Medicine? including LASIK? is based on the evidence presented to doctors and surgeons in the medical literature peer, so that these terms have difficult assessment and review of the representation of the scientific basis for treatment was made by patients. We believe that every patient wants to inform their physician as well as on scientific management of interventions and treatments. Doctors, patients on word of mouth, news, blogs to treat basis, and also informal media a disservice to the practice> medicine.â ????

also responsible for the medical practice is not of men, according to the influence and false information on the Internet and new media in a scream? People like Morris Waxler, PhD, who said that about 50% of LASIK patients experience side effects. We believe it has no basis to reputable such a request, because he did not produce scientific evidence. Certainly there are patients with negative results after LASIK, in fact, such cases in the scientific literature in peer-review are reported. Wrong to exaggerate their numbers are useless ONEA? Interested? except those with an agenda not based on current scientific research and precise.


History

ABC News did not offer the advice of a surgeon who actually performed LASIK (Dr. Waxler is not a doctor). Between us we have had over five thousand laser vision correction procedure of the surgery and participated in multiple clinical trials, FDA approval of LASIK to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness with astigmatism. These studies were approved by the FDA for manufacturers of lasers and other technologies such as Alcon, VISX, Bausch & Lomb, Nidek, Summit excimer laser systems and autonomous finances. Dr. Doyle Stulting, Dr. James McCulley, and Dr. Jayne Weiss served as Chairman of the Committee served the FDA Ophthalmic Advisory for much of the time of Dr. Morris Waxler and Dr. Marian Macsai was a member of this group. Dr. George Waring, Dr. Douglas Koch and Dr. James Salt presented the results of studies on numerous occasions about the FDA, Dr. Waxler? S term.â?

If people have â? absolutely mind? LASIK have proposed in each case by Dr. Waxler on ABC News, what do the patients LASIK? Patients are satisfied with LASIK?

According to available studies, the answer is? yes.â? In 2009, Dr. Kerry Solomon published and his colleagues a document that is widely regarded as a thorough analysis of results of LASIK (1). Dr. Solomon and colleagues reviewed the world literature on LASIK, which had published over 1581 articles from more than 20 countries between 1988 and 2008. The evidence showed that 95.4% of patients had one? Satisfied or very satisfied? with the results of LASIK. This article in Ophthalmology, the official journal of the prestigious American Academy of Ophthalmology has been published (see Solomon KD, Fernández de Castro LE, Sandoval HP, el LASIK World Literature Review .. The quality of life and satisfaction ophthalmology patients in 2009, .. 116: 691-701)

What are the side effects of LASIK, as highlighted in the ABC News story? Patients should feel concerned, halos bursts, and a visual disturbance that may result from LASIK?

According to experts cited in LASIK? Most people who use contact lenses or glasses experience side effects such as halos, glare, or wear and jumps to a certain extent. Recent studies using laser systems with improved technology of the wavefront showed that these side effects will not increase significantly and are often reduced after LASIK. This does not mean that there are no such risks, as some patients may have increased side effects with laser-based vision correction wavefront surgery.â?

S term, and is the current president of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, has responded to September 2010 Mr. Waxler? ? Claims about LASIK in a recent letter. According to Dr. Stulting, Dr. Waxler? S is the perspective of LASIK? Misinformed, unsubstantiated evidence and lack of balance and perspective.â?

Other relevant points of Dr. Stulting letter be made:

order to determine accurately the rate of side effects of LASIK, it is necessary to use new studies and to studies that are clearly outdated, as for lasers, do not refer to the advanced technology used today is . â? Technological advances and techniques in science-based studies have examined the work to continuously improve the safety of LASIK enabled. This is clearly a procedure available to patients who are well informed about the risks and benefits should be informed â? writes Dr. Stulting.


Dr.

Stultingâ? The notice is LASIK â? low complication rate is acceptable for many patients and comparable to that of contact lenses on a lifetime.â? LASIK has one too?
