Dr. Dean Dornic gave me wine glasses but now I wear goggles - LASIK
dry eye can be hell, and even the FDA says that it can be permanent.
Why didn't Dr. Dean Dornic warn me?

Ben Dornicked

After my LASIK surgery, Dr. Dean Dornic, MD, of Cary North Carolina
gave me wineglasses - telling me that now these were the 'only glasses
that I'd need'.

They were printed with 'Laser Eye Center of Carolina' on the side.

Actually, it is an FTC violation to make this claim (that you won't
need glasses, or 'throw away your glasses') about corneal refractive
surgery, since for most patients it is false.

Ironically, since LASIK damages corneal nerves... now I have severe
dry eye and need to wear goggles. Talk about attractive eyewear.

If I DID drink wine out of those wineglasses the dehydration would be
excruciating with my already painful chronic LASIK-induced dry eye
condition. Why didn't he just kick sand in my eyes?

How about a club for damaged LASIK patients who wear goggles?

I bet that many out there know enough dry eye patients who have been
screwed up by local LASIK surgeons to form a small club in your
community composed solely of goggle-wearing LASIK casualties.

You could all get those t-shirts and bumper stickers that Eye Pain has
recently ordered... and really do it up!

Some sort of public statement should be planned for each gathering.
Picketing or some other sort of demonstration!

Ben Dornicked, you could bring those WINE GLASSES to each of YOUR
meetings, and carry a sign that says 'Dr. Dean Dornic gave me
wineglasses and now I wear goggles'.

Scientist

I think a picture of you holding up the wine glasses and wearing
goggles would be a perfect advertisement for LASIK eye surgery with
your surgeon, Dr. Dean Dornic, MD, of Cary, North Carolina.

You can even use 'photobucket' to post it on the flap!

We would love to see it!

The title you started for this thread would make a perfect caption!
