The Unsightly Truth of Laser Vision Correction

LASIK Surgery Makes Healthy Eyes Sick

Medical negligence, Government corruption, deliberate, dangerous surgical procedures, this book has it all. Never agree to corrective surgery before reading this book. Learn from those directly involved, prime witness accounts like you have never seen before.

This book charts the harrowing primary account of Dr Morris Waxler, vision scientist, Neuropsychologist, and former Science Manager (Branch Chief) of the PRK/LASIK team at the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) who has spent many years trying to end the corrupt, harmful, and sometimes fatal consequences of LASIK eye surgery. You will hear directly from Paula Cofer, founder of The LASIK Complications Support Group, a victim of LASIK eye surgery and now lifelong activist. Dr Edward Boshnick has spent over 25 years caring for patients with severe eye damage, visual defects, and lifelong suffering due to this dangerous, flawed practice. Dr Cynthia MacKay describes how she uncovered the dangers of LASIK surgery, how she has campaigned to bring it to an end, she has faced many attempts to silence her. Dr MacKay will not be silenced; she has written her own memoir (Making the Cut) exposing the corruption and dangerous procedure.

Yet, even to this day, with the corpus of knowledge available to legislators, and surgeons, the harmful procedure continues unabated, unchallenged by those in power that could put a stop to it. Why? the answer is clear: $$$, it is true, money is right at the heart of this problem. Surgeons are becoming very wealthy, US Government receives its healthy share of the proceeds, all whilst upwards of 60% of patients suffer from serious and most painful eye and vision defects. Healthy eyes are deliberately being made sick. Thousands of patients are being cared for by legitimate, caring, competent and decent health professionals, but it is fruitless, the conditions cannot be reversed, and the corrupt practice of LASIK surgery continues, meaning the patient count is continually rising.

In this book, you will learn how even those responsible for compliance and legislating against such procedures, are silenced, are faced with criticism, threatened, forced out of their jobs, and ignored by the very people in government in charge of keeping you safe. You will hear how victims are blamed for their suffering. Doctors are smeared by their peers, afraid to speak out.

Everyone must read this book, otherwise it may be the last time they are able to read. LASIK surgeons know the risks they are taking. They know, it is highly likely the surgery will injure your eyes. But this book isn’t seeking to educate readers only about LASIK surgery. It sets out how the government is prepared to allow damaging, and dangerous medical interventions, when they know there is a high likelihood of injury. Read this book, and then think very carefully about any corrective surgery you are considering, learn how to evaluate the procedures and how to make good, informed decisions. This book will save lives, and hopefully it will bring an end to dangerous corrective surgeries.

This book is dedicated to all those victims, past, present, and future. Many victims have taken their own lives, as they could no longer live with the constant pain, irritation, and sight loss.
