The FDA Emergency LASIK Panel Discussion took place on April 25th, 2008...The 95.4% success rate is misrepresented to the consumer and the FDA senses something terrible is wrong with LASIK...This website is dedicated to the 600,000+ hurt LASIK victims in America that have been ruined by their Lying LASIK Doctors!  May God have mercy on LASIK Doctor's souls like Nick Caro at St. George Vision Center, Chicago, IL...I hope mother nature does to his family what he has done to ruin so many other families!  I hope his lust for ego and greed was worth it!  Only time will tell...

-GET THE LATEST INDUSTRY NEWS CONFIRMING THAT EVEN IN 2008, LASIK IS STILL UNSAFE-
"If LASIK is so safe, and the question is that certain LASIK doctors should be doing a better job, then why don't all
of the expert LASIK doctors get together to discipline/suspend the LASIK centers/doctors that have had 3+ or more lawsuits?  Wouldn't this be a great place to start? Why not contact ASCRS/FDA/CDRH immediately?

Get used to the LASIK FLAP, it is permanent, and YOU just paid a Lying LASIK Quack $5,000 to permanently cut a FLAP severing your corneal nerves, now making your "regular" cornea "irregular for life"...Try wearing contacts when your eyes are producing ZERO tears and see how bad life can really be.  Do your homework or you will regret this as being the biggest mistake of your life!!

Tell Michael Moore about the LASIK Lies and about the PERMANENT Daily
Visual Hell that you have to endure:  Email:  Mike@MichaelMoore.com

-WARNING ALERT:  DOCTORS BE VERY CAREFUL OF PAYING $5,000+ FOR A YEARLY
CRSQA MEMBERSHIP TO GLENN HAGELE, COMPLICATED EYES, & USAYEYES-

http://www.usaeyes.us/   Or    http://www.theglennhagelereport.com/

Hurt LASIK Patients?  Did your LASIK doctor tell you that your eyes are in that 5% group that it just didn't work well for and that it could take 5-7 years for your eyes to completely heal?  This is a lie AND even if you SUE THEM, they will most likely APPEAL, and APPEAL and APPEAL until you give up trying to sue them!!  The SICK LASIK DOCTORS  are trying to push you past the Statute of Limitations so that you can't sue them!!  Immediately seek legal council anyway and find an attorney that has previously won a LASIK Lawsuit.  In the opinion of many hurt LASIK patients, stay away from any CRSQA doctor or anything related to Glenn Hagele, as we believe he has proven himself to be VERY DANGEROUS!!   Why am I trying to warn you?  Because I care...and most LASIK Doctors simply "do not care about you...and will try to sue you."

{-Click Here-} to read about my personal LASIK nightmare, how my own LASIK Doctor, Nick Caro, who swore The Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm," should have never have performed LASIK on a patient with dilated pupils off the charts at 9-10mm (as shown in red in the above picture), then tried to sue me for $2 million for exposing his bullshit, harassment & unprofessional behavior, Nick's 50+ lawsuits, Nick's "unapproved" FDA seized laser, and why I think that Nick Caro & family, Jaswant Pannu,
Glenn Hagele & CRSQA Doctors each belong in jail for LIFE-)


The year is 2007...these links, are in my opinion, what I have learned from first hand experience in dealing with the LASIK Lies & Uninformed Consent that doctors are providing patients with because the FDA has not made it a point to provide the thorough documentation showing all of the harmful effects caused by LASIK, but rather has let the LASIK Industry and LASIK Surgeons make it up as they want to in order to "spin/sell" patients on the "benefits," without correctly and ethically educating and informing patients of "known and unknown detriments" that every LASIK procedure causes to each and every patient's cornea...This website will expose you to the truth that the doctors are not providing...Are you open to hearing what the greedy LASIK Industry doesn't want you to see?

Is LASIK Really Worth The Risk...Creating A Flap That Never Heals, Creating Wrinkled Flaps,  & Hiding Problems Under The Surface?  Do you really think that the LASIK Doctors are going to tell you the entire story?  NO, they know you would never have LASIK if they did!  The below pictures show your new vision after LASIK.  Did your LASIK doctor show you pictures like this so that you are fully provided with "Informed Consent..." There is a good chance that if you choose LASIK, your new vision could look like this for the rest of your life & there is NO KNOWN CURE to fix these visual disturbances...Did your LASIK doctor show you these pictures before $5,000 was paid?:

This website was developed at my own expense to make sure that YOU get all of the facts so that YOU are better informed before making a "life altering decision" that YOU will have to live with long after the LASIK Doctor spends your $5,000 on their family's new BMW at your family's cost!  Do your OWN homework, get 4 different doctors opinions, go to the BEST known surgeons, avoid the volume clinics, take all of the tests to make sure that you are properly screened and pre-qualified, research all of the known refractive surgeries such as:  LASIK, Lasek, Epi Lasek, PRK, Ortho K, before you decide LASIK is what is best for you because the doctor made $5,000 in 10 minutes...Research the links provided for your review, to help you with your decision, & then know that even the perfect candidate as I was told, will be guaranteed problems for the rest of their life...Is it worth the risk?
