Medical Forum / General / Vision / February 2007Dr. William Stacy worries about LASIK Complications
I am not a doctor. Reply Reply to author Forward Rate this post: Text for clearing space Newsgroups: sci.med.vision From: William Stacy <wst...@obase.net> Date: Fri, 06 May 2005 20:23:57 GMT Local: Fri, May 6 2005 12:23 pm Subject: Re: LASIK eye surgery, starburst I just happened to be listening to an audio-digest ophthalmology report as I was driving home last night and David Hwang, M.D. (ucsf sch med) was reporting on some cases of "late onset DLK". According to him, the flap never really heals, and can be lifted many years out, and can be very subject to epithelial disruption, esp. if there was any epith. disruption during the original lasik. He also mentioned that fluid can accumulate in the interface which can falsly lower the iop reading, even causing a glaucoma to look like uveitis or corneal dystrophy. He also said that wave front can screw up if the surgeon isn't paying attention, citing a case where the pt had sat around for a while after fluress was used, causing drying and deformation of her cornea, which was then mapped by the laser, and you guessed it, she got a nice reverse imprint of that dried cornea on top of the refractive fix. My unease grows. w.stacy, o.d. Now that the word is out that there is better technology---better lasers, better topographers, etc.---on the horizon, LASIK should dry up for a while. Prospective patients should demand the best the world has to offer and tell doctors that they'll wait for it.

Once the whiner set gets a foothold of a newsgroup you folks will have to wade thru a ton of spam before you get the info you seek. > Now that the word is out that there is better technology---better > lasers, better topographers, etc.---on the horizon, LASIK should dry [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Listen to the segment on LASIK: http://www.archive.org/details/Insight_060920 Mrs. Pauls vs Gortons LasikNightmare sure seems to be a veteran poster of poison.. and is being quite evasive about identifying their previous alias. I stick to my theory that out of 14 million lasik procedures, there are only three nutjobs behind 95% of this gabage being posted. Burch is one... Minarik is two... and who might #3 be? Just who are you LasikNightmare? By the way, Minarik has always been at the lowest depths of the malcontents. The only reason he is posting now is becuase virtually all the malcontents other than some seriously menatally ill people have ceased to act as his mercenaries. > LasikNightmare sure seems to be a veteran poster of poison.. and is > being quite evasive about identifying their previous alias.

Enough of the repeitious posting of what I said almost 2 years ago. For what it's worth, I'm less uncomfortable with LASIK now than I was then. It's still a viable procedure for many. w.stacy, o.d. > On Jan 29, 6:31�pm, badla...@hotmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >> >>w.stacy, o.d. Glad you posted this Dr. Stacy. The legion of doom has been taking your old statements out of context and misrepresenting your views in an attempt to fulfill their own irrational agenda. I appreciate that you took the time to clear up your position. >All right already. Enough of the repeitious posting of what I said >almost 2 years ago.

You know what would make this group good?? More borderline personality disorder patients with agendas.  SignatureScott Reverse name to reply Borderline? There are currently 2 severely mentally disturbed posters in this newsgroup. I still haven't figured out the why Nightmare is reposting messages with seemingly no purpose. Nightmare is one stubborn obsessed lunatic. I am disapointed that Nightmare's previous alias has not yet been detected by you nor SeRebel. It's easy.. just name the most insane, obsessive, pathologically lying, malicious poster ever in this newsgroup, and you have your answer. >> On Jan 29, 6:31¨«pm, badla...@hotmail.com wrote: >>> I am not a doctor. > >You know what would make this group good??

Put it all behind you. Take up, instead, the charge of pointing out what a moron Otis Brown is. Point out his faulty logic, ignorant approach, lies, doom-and-gloom scenarios, threats, personal insults, refusal to ackowledge contradictory evidence, etc.. Get over this hateful little agenda of yours and latch on to something more fun ... more productive. Come on. Follow Otis instead. It's good for you! It's good for everybody ;-) On Jan 29, 6:31�pm, badla...@hotmail.com wrote: > I am not a doctor. > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > w.stacy, o.d.
