You are playing word games because I caught you in a little marketing
exaggeration. You said your group had the most experienced LASIK
surgeons in Canada. You dont. Surgeons at TLC, Gimbel, and the
Bochner all have MORE EXPERIENCE than YOU and YOUR CHUMS at LASIK MD.
The average TLC, Gimbel, and Bochner doctor also has more experience
than the average Lasik MD surgeon. |
| LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), also known as
refractive surgery, utilizes small cuts in the cornea to change its
shape and restore near-perfect vision. It can cause a temporary
condition called dry eye, a lack of moisture on the surface of the
cornea that can severely disrupt vision. |
| Worries mount over laser eye business
Leslie Mladinich
Livermore engineer Rajat Sewal wanted to correct his nearsightedness,
so he got on the Internet and typed in Lasik. Up came Laser Eye
Center 2000 in San Jose. |
| In addition to LASIK surgery, dry eye can be caused by an autoimmune
disorder like rheumatoid arthritis, by certain medications such as
antidepressants, or, as is most often the case, by long-term contact
lens use, which concerns Battat the most. |
| A study of 100,000 Lasik patients found that 15 percent came out with
undercorrected or overcorrected vision, according to Dr. Antoine
Garabet, president and CEO of Laser Eye Center, a Southern California
company that owns the San Jose center where Sewal got treatment. Laser
Eye Centers businesses in the Bay Area are called Laser Eye 2000. |
