Interesting how this is being discussed now after over 25 years of the procedure being used.

I'm suspicious of the claims of suicidal tendencies due to bad surgery.

The subject at hand set aside, lawyers find clients and then bring suits to settle out of court.

Lawyers need adverse publicity to get the ball rolling.

This is the second negative article in a week on Lasik- about which up to now I have never heard any complaints - so I get the impression this is some lawyers’ PR team trying to gin up controversy with an eye towards exploitation by litigation.

Always wanted to have the procedure done but never had the money.

I thought I needed LASIK until someone pointed out it was just a bandana over my eyes.

If I had to make a wild guess, I'd say any new problems with LASIK are more due to the recent influx of DEI and dumbed-down schooling. If the regular current medical profession is any indication, there is probably a much higher number of bumbling retards in the field than there was 20 years ago.

1% is more risky than people think, it means if 100,000 people do the procedure, you have 1000 people with bad results.

Latest numbers estimate more than 10 million of them have been done in the US, that means with 1% bad results you have 100,000 people who have issues.

You can write an article a day for 10 years without running out of subjects.
