Btween the both of them, Leukoma with the big fat ego and Minarik being
delusional,
this can be entertaining.

What the F&*k are you talking about you st*&(d &*%$% How dare you
suggest I would ^&*%# over the net you peurile little ^&%$%&. Go back
to your #%[at]^&^ and ^%$$#^.

Besides, the real Aussie Sailor (Wendell) has just been done for
sniffing cocaine and is out for 2 years. Gonna cost him $1,000,000.00
over that period and will be the end of his test career.

Cheers.

Don't take yourself too seriously, Don Quixote. Where's your sense of
humor?

Becoming a bit more of a skeptic, Greg? I've never known you to squash
people's hopes. I'm just hoping that you have a little gas and you
aren't turning too ascerbic in your old age. I'd hate to think you're
gonna start swearing up a storm like an old Aussie sailor. But wait, I
forgot...Grant has done that already.

Actually, one of my post-LASIK patients benefitted greatly from a
variation on "rose colored glasses." The tint was helpful in reducing
the contrast of his many floaters.

His post reminds me of the last scene from Raiders Of The Lost Ark, in
which the government bureaucrat assures Indiana Jones that "top people
are working on it," followed by the scene of the Ark being carted away
into the remote recesses of the huge warehouse. LOL!

What garbage are you referring to?? I just think there is now a more
realistic view with lasik and people are no longer looking at lasik
though
rose colored glasses. Lasik is still a very viable procedure but it's
not
the "end all,be all" that the hype presented it to be years ago. I do
recommend it but am prudent to those I do. And I'm working presently
with more than a few patients with a history of Lasik that are
struggling
with severe dry eye and/or distorted vision.

I thought that "dr my_eye" presented some interesting info on dry eyes.

Don't worry, I just got back from MWCO conference in Vegas and there
was no "lasik bashing" to be seen.

Funny how you "find" the bash lasik lectures. I'm sure the majority of
this confab was not about how "lasik kills". Please post your garbage
on "flappie" where the idiots can kiss your fat ass.

A New Hope!


Once again I am attending the Midwest Vision Congress at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel and Convention Center in Chicago. As you may remember, it

was 6 years ago that I attended this Congress and heard Dr. John Potter

talk about the "joys" of LASIK co-management...and that lecture lead to

an essay that I wrote called The Wounds of Summer" which has now been
read by at least 50,000 people worldwide on 5 different websites. Well,

I'm back...and LASIK is conspicuously absent.


So far every class that I have attended has made mention of
LASIK-induced ectasia or dry eyes...but none of the "fluff" from 6
years ago.
Optometrists have taken the lead in playing the role of the "healing
profession" and we are now going out of our way in an attempt to help
those who were injured by refractive surgery.


One of the most fascinating lectures I attended was called "Dry Eye
Therapy Today" by Scot Morris O.D. of Conifer, Colorado. One of the
things that Dr. Morris was speaking about is the existence of a "super
group" of the best minds in dry eye research that is now meeting on a
regular basis. That group is called "The Delphi Panel" and they are
leading the charge into alternative dry eye treatments that have
inspired great hope so far. One of the directions that the "Delphi
Panel" is taking research is that they are "mapping" the inflammatory
cascade that happens in a chronic dry eye patient. Whenever you search
the pathway back to the brain to understand this process, it has been
found that the "highest level" that the inflammatory cascade happens is

so far up the pathway that the "pathway to dry eye inflammatory hell"
can be traced all the way back to the hormone androgen, which splits
later to become the male hormone testasterone or the female hormone
estrogen. Hence, the chronic inflammatory dry eye is an equal
opportunity provider of misery to either sex. SO, the bottom line is
that Allergan is already in Phase 2 Clinical Trials in front of the FDA

for an Androgen Patch that the dry eye sufferer can wear to eliminate
the need for tears, plugs, flaxseed oil and all the other palliative
measures that we have invented for the past few years.


This looks really good, folks! Keep hope alive!
