Exposing the LASIK Scam

Yes, really the FDA should recall the VISX laser until proper clinical trials are performed with good accountability and adherence to protocol.

This hasn't happened, insiders in the FDA solicited the application (yes, this is a major policy violation as well) and let the application slide through the approval process, so these lasers are out on the market mauling the general public.

The clinical trials data represent a small sample of the dataset (probably the best outcomes) as over 70% of outcomes were left out of the PMA data submitted to the FDA.

Patients who receive 'LASIK clinical trials data' for the VISX laser are not receiving accurate information. This means they cannot give fully informed consent for LASIK surgery on the VISX laser.
