Do you even read what you post? First sentence, you need to know what
is oending from the "credible FDA. Second sentence, you claim the FDA
uses "improper procedures.
You spin it both ways.

Lasik does improve vision. IE: I couldn't see anything before, now I
see just fine after. Yup, improved vision.

Do you still see monsters under your bed?

I don't disagree with you, but the topic was " Los Angeles - best
lasik surgeon" and my points were that Dr. Salz is conservative, and
that the technology that European patients currently enjoy might be
worth waiting for if one has their mind set to have refractive
surgery. I doubt that NearSighted is a real prospective patient
anyway, and is more likely a Los Angeles LASIK surgeon.

By the way, a 'good LASIK surgeon' is kind of an oxymoron. If the
surgeon were good in any sense of the word, he would NOT be doing
LASIK.

What about procedures, such as LASIK that received FDA approval using
improper procedures on the part of the FDA and the the surgeons who
were responsible for the study?

And since WHEN does LASIK improve vision? LASIK may help you function
without glasses for some period of time, but you take a big hit on
visual quality and eye health. LASIK does NOT improve visual quality.
Your best possible vision is with glasses or contacts - not LASIK.

Or they could go to Europe and have it done...although the iVis laser
will likely be installed somewhere in N. America soon. They're
talking with doctors in Mexico and Canada.

And after that year or two there will be even better technologies. If
you want life to pass you by, that's your problem, others actually
live their lives. They don't need the Keller seal of approval.

A year or two is not forever, Exaggerator Extraordinaire.

That's funny, because there are MILLIONS of people here who have had
very successful surgeries. There are always going to be improving
technologies, but if one waits forever, life will pass one by.

Do you want the very best technology, or the very best surgeon, or
both? The U.S. does not have the best technology available in the
world today. We will hopefully have access to better lasers and
topographers, maybe as soon as sometime in the next year or two. I'd
wait, and I wouldn't have anything to do with a LASIK flap. You
might want to make appointments with several surgeons, including James
Salz, MD, who is probably the most conservative top surgeon in Los
Angeles. He will be very honest with you about whether or not you are
a good candidate, given that you are "very nearsighted".
