Hi joel I am making the ultimate investment in Lasik. I am scheduled for Dec 10 to correct my astigmatism with an undercorrection of the non-dominant eye via a Summit machine. The doc has done >8000 of these and wrote a book. If I become disabled, hopefully I could still read this board. voop

Unless I miss my guess, I don't believe there will be Lasik Horror Stories in 6 months or possibly ever. There are actually very few complications from this surgery. Joel, I agree this is on the whole a very, safe procedure that works for most people. My point, again, is that the 20/20's of the media world will certainly have more than enough 'real life' cases of problem surgeries to hang a really nasty story on, whether or not those are representative patients. If they could make a piece up last week out of non-existent, completely anecdotal cellphone-induced brain tumors, this will be easy in comparison. (I am certain they won't have to dig very far, either. Check out the folks at:) surgicaleyes.com members.aol.com Any more on this I'd be glad to discuss via PM - we're drifting from the G&K mission more than a bit now. -Rose-
