I have had a cornea transplant (due to a botched Lasik procedure)

Is this common?

Botched Lasik Procedures are fairly common. Ones botched like mine (misassembly of the tool leading to penetration of the cornea) are fairly rare. There are a lot of complications. The vast majority of them are not reported to the FDA. Here is mine. Read the BS at the bottom. It was only reported after a lawsuit was posted. The people who manufacture this tool were soulless bastards. They stood by while 13 people that I know of had their vision destroyed and did NOTHING. You think that everyone has a conscious and will react like you. That is just not the case. There are some people who will sit around for a good paycheck and allow people to be blinded.
