LASIK Seemed Like A Miracle, Until It Started Ruining Lives

LASIK Seemed Like A Miracle, Until It Started Ruining Lives. Chronic Pain, Vision Loss, Even Suicide...& The FDA Stays Silent.
Dr Cynthia MacKay, MD

100% Suffer From At Least One Complication.

75% Suffer From Permanent Dry Eye Syndrome.

44% Lose The Ability To See At Distance.

Dr Cynthia MacKay & Dr Morris Waxler, vision scientist, Neuropsychologist & former Branch Chief of the PRK/LASIK team at the US FDA, have spent many years trying to end the corrupt, harmful & sometimes fatal consequences of LASIK eye surgery.

Spending over 25 years caring for patients with severe eye damage, visual defects & lifelong suffering due to this dangerous, flawed practice.

Yet, even to this day, with the corpus of knowledge available to legislators & surgeons, the harmful procedure continues unabated, unchallenged by those in power that could put a stop to it.

Why? the answer is clear: $$$, Money is at the heart of the problem. Surgeons are becoming very wealthy & the US Government receives its healthy share of the proceeds.

10 Shocking Facts Doctors Never Share With Patients Prior To LASIK Surgery For True Informed Consent:
1⃣ After you have LASIK, there is a 100% chance you will no longer be able to distinguish between subtle shades of grey.

2⃣ There is only a 30% chance you will be able to throw away your glasses.

3⃣ You have a 74% chance of developing “dry eye syndrome” after LASIK. Your eyes will feel as if sand is pasted inside your lids & they will burn as if they have hot pepper sauce in them. The chance this pain will be with you for the rest of your life is close to 100%. “Dry eye” is a misnomer. The “dryness” is actually nerve pain, caused by destruction of corneal nerves during LASIK.

4⃣ You have a 50% chance of developing glare, a 40% chance of becoming sensitive to light, a 30% chance of blurred vision & a 10% chance of difficulty driving at night because of halos around lights & ghost images. These problems are permanent, not temporary. You may be unable to function in dim light. You may have to give up driving at night. If your job requires functioning in dim light, you may be permanently disabled.

5⃣ The LASIK flap never heals completely, so you have a lifetime risk of flap dislocation after minor trauma & infection underneath the flap.

6⃣ 20% of LASIK eyes do not stay stable. They either go back to being nearsighted, or become farsighted, or fluctuate from one to the other. Some eyes continue to fluctuate in vision for as long as twenty-five years.

7⃣ Even if you see better at distance, you will have other problems you did not have before LASIK. For example, people over 40 will have to wear reading glasses.

8⃣ LASIK thins & weakens your cornea, which put it at risk of Ectasia, which means the cornea bulges out, like a tire bulging at a weak spot. As it sags outwards, it gets steeper & steeper, and more & more warped. This causes irregular astigmatism that cannot be corrected by glasses or soft contact lenses. Your vision will become more and more blurred & distorted as Ectasia progresses. The only way to treat Ectasia is to use hard contact lenses, or get a corneal transplant. Ectasia develops 25 years after LASIK.

9⃣ LASIK stretches & weakens your retina. The risk of retinal detachment is 2,000X greater after LASIK.

🔟 7 years after LASIK, most patients are unhappy with their vision.

Over 30 LASIK eye surgery-related suicides reported & many more suspected. Countless more are suicidal, blind, visually disabled, or in incapacitating pain.

Tens of thousands in the U.S. alone with post-LASIK corneal ectasia. LASIK surgeons hope the public never finds out. They tout high short-term "satisfaction" to fool the public & the media. They have abandoned the Hippocratic oath to DO NO HARM.
