Medical Forum / General / Vision / May 2006Laser eye surgery summary
Hi all, I have created a website dedicated to laser eye surgery. http://uk.geocities.com/laser_eye_surgery_summary/ Can you take a look at it and make any recommendations regarding content, layout etc. please? Thanks. Mark Dear Mark, Subject: your new website Mark> Can you take a look at it and make any recommendations regarding content, layout etc. please? Odis> What is your goal in creating this website? It looks as though you may be trying to drive traffic to a page in order to create revenue from Google Ads. Odis> Is this correct? Odis> It may be important to disclose this up front. As an "example," I have been trying to get people to believe that I am simply a caring and compassionate old man when, in REALITY, I have been trying to sell a book for $24.95. Odis> Once this came out, it became much easier for people both to question my "motives" AND, because I had NOT BEEN HONEST, to wonder what else I might be lying about. Odis> As always, I recommend that people have ALL the information. Then, they can make the BEST decision on their own. Odis> Much can be learned about this, AND about kung pao, at: www.chinesefoodformyopes.org But that is simply the nature of the PREVENTIVE second opinion as it relates to Asian cuisine. Best, Odis Ingenue On 5/26/06 4:17 AM, in article 1148642263.134518.116640@38g2000cwa.googlegroups.com, > I have created a website dedicated to laser eye surgery. <snip> What I would like to know is how wavefront error is measured? I presume that it is some kind of interferometer or equivalent. I have trouble with the typical Google search because all of the marketing and hand holding hyp that makes it very difficult to find specific description of measurement technique. Bill -- Ferme le Bush Try our website's article on wavefront Lasik at http://www.USAEyes.org and click on | Considerations | Which Surgery For You? | Wavefront | to see if it provides the balanced information you seek.

Search for > presentations by Larry Thibos. I have not heard the term aberrometry used before although it is almost self-explanatory. To my mind, wave front almost implies interferometry. Very sensitive optical tests such as the Foucault knife test or Ronchi tests are often used. With modern computing power, their results can be expressed as wave front error, they certainly do not measure wave fronts directly. Bill -- Ferme le Bush Dear Mark, Subject: Content. Yes, I would suggest you include the commentary by "Malcontent" on this sci.med.vision -- as a balance for those "glowing" reports on Lasik. When Lasik is good -- it is wonderful. When is fails -- it is a total disaster. No one should go into it until he understands that he is "rolling the dice". Just a suggestion for content. Otis > Dear Mark, Dear Mark, Please disregard Otis's postings. He is not in the medical profession and not in any position to give medical advice. Thank you! Allen Yes, Allen, and the woman who had her vision destroyed with lasik, "...is not in a position to give any advice about the risks of Lasik". Otis > Yes, Allen, and the woman who had her vision destroyed > with lasik, "...is not in a position to give any advice > about the risks of Lasik". Actually, he/she's not, Uncle Otie. What he/she IS in a position to do is to recount a personal anecdote. Critical thinkers who do their own INDEPENDENT research can put that decision in the larger context of realistic and adequate sample sizes to better understand the risks, the risk factors, and ways to minimize those risks. This is just ONE MORE example of your fundamentally flawed understanding of science, logic, and statistics. I still chuckle every time you say that those who enter college WILL shift myopic by something like 1.3 diopters based on an AVERAGE of students. You have NO understanding of concepts like range, variance, and standard deviation, so ... as always ... you prey on people who don't either. You are, indeed, a sick, old man.... > Yes, Allen, and the woman who had her vision destroyed > with lasik, "...is not in a position to give any advice > about the risks of Lasik". You think your vision was destroyed by minus lenses. It was not. The fact that you argue "stairstep" myopia in the face of all these professionals telling you otherwise indicates firmly embedded biases and probably some personal conflict unrelated to myopia. It's just a shame that you feel compelled to share them with the public. -MT |
