Do not sign the Lasik Informed Consent Form.

[bodryn]

I see YouTube disabled the audio for this: great job, YouTube. Never mind the people.

[Adam6275]

Thanks so much for the video's. I found out about this a year ago going home one day on the radio that the FDA wanted stronger warning on LASIK and I went on line and found your video's and others which after this I would NEVER have lasik. At one point I use to get stuff in the mail from LASIK PLUS and was considering not knowing it is very bad for your eyes long term and even short term. I will stick with my glasses and one day maybe try contacts.

[Adam6275]

Well this car accident tiger woods suffered may have been due to the Lasik surgery.

[lasikruinedme]

I have been ruined by lasik. My doctor Keon Nia apperently had it too, he should have known better. At least I can plead ignorance.

[coro57]

dkantis not been heard from for a year...maybe he took up a new hobby after realizing how bogus his claims were...

[Ipcch78]

im agreed with you!(italia8585)

LASIK today is safer than ever

[LasikBS]

Watching this makes me think of the hellish nightmare brought forth by LASIK surgery and JOSEPH KIERNAN of PREMIER EYE CARE AND SURGERY. One medical "professional" mutulating another... Yes I am in the medical field and he was not honest with me either! Do not do to this "doctor!" CAVEAT EMPTOR!

[LASIKNightmare]

Do a search on YouTube for "LASIK FDA" and you'll see the presentations made in April 2008, at a meeting called by the FDA because of all of the suicides over bad lasik results. The videos are posted here, presentations by doctors, optometrists, patients, etc.

[Italia8585]

I am a technician for TLC and know first hand that Tiger is seeing 20/20 and only had one proceedure and one enhancement. It is not uncommon to need an enhancement several years down the road. Tiger had his proceedure several years ago. The technology has continued to grow and he wanted to enhance his vision with the newest technology. Do you really think Tiger would still be a spokesman for TLC if we ruined his or his ex's eyes? Dont be a fool.

[dkantis]

If you are speaking the truth, then the name Kashmira Karanjia should ring a bell. Remember her? You know...Tiger's ex-girlfriend who was RUINED by TLC and LASIK, yet Tiger gets paid off as a spokesperson while she is suffering daily with no cure. I have lost any respect for Tiger Woods and I think a ton of people who know the truth have as well. I will never buy another NIKE product nor watch golf because of Tiger being the spokesperson for TLC knowing the truth about Kashmira.

[dkantis]

Has Tiger yet figured out the truth? That is corneas were thinned out and how this could eventually cause problems? Did you inform Tiger of what happens with thinning out one's cornea, ECTASIA? Oh, i forgot. You are smarter than us. You MAKE us sign the Informed Consent form so we can't sue each of you in court because you know LASIK is unpredictable. Youtube: FDA LASIK, CRSQA LASIK and listen to the suicides lately and how your centers spend more time on credit than on a patient's health

[Italia8585]

Ectasia is extremely rare and I have never seen 1 case of it. We have done over 50,000 proceedures. Do the math. EVERY proceedure out there has a consent form. It is the law. We participated in the lasik/suicide tests. Look at the results comparing cosmetic surgery and suicide. Does not even compare. Go after all of the plastic surgeons. They have far more poor results than Lasik. Every one of our patients are aware of the risks. Contact lens abuse causes far more problems each year.

[dkantis]

Do you understand the LASIK INDUSTRY is using falsified success rates stating LASIK is a 95.4% success when it is more like 75% after 2,4,6,8 years? Where are the 2,4,6,8,10 year POST STUDIES on Quality Issues? Why is it there are hundreds of patient ANTI-LASIK websites warning the masses? I don't know of more than 5 websites from plastic surgery injuries? You can still work if a breast is ruined, but NOT IF YOUR EYES are ruined. I would be very careful if I was a doctor in ruining a life.

[Italia8585]

You keep saying that you can work with a botched plastic surgery job, you cant work if you are dead from massive infection! I can tell you first hand, not bullshit you read online, that our enhancement rate is 4%. Most of those enhancements are on patients that had micokeratome(blade)lasik from years ago. We dont even use that technology much anymore. The truth is, it is safer now than ever to get Lasik Surgery! Be careful what you read. I can find horror stories online for any proceedure.

[dkantis]

The FDA just held (thanks to myself and a few others) an Emergency Panel Discussion in DC on April 25th, 2008 because they are very concerned with the spike in LASIK complaints lately. YouTube: FDA LASIK. The end result, they know something is seriously flawed with LASIK and is giving LASIK another look. I am hoping there is a MORATORIUM on LASIK. If it was up to me, I would do this asap until the industry can supply the Qualitative Studies they were supposed to show years ago...

[Italia8585]

Well while you wait for an imaginary FDA meeting to disclose its results, you have plenty of time to go after all the other plastic surgeons who perform potentionaly fatal proceedures, OBGYN's that perform deadly abortions to the mother, dentists who have patients die days after routine teeth cleaning due to infection,etc..etc..you are being a hippocrate. No one has ever died from Lasik. Mental disorders leading to suicide, but not Lasik.

[Italia8585]

By the way, I hope you understand that publicly falsifying information about a person or corporation is illegal. You have posted several lies about the number of Tigers proceedures, outcomes, and have posted blatent lies regarding the industries success. I would be very careful if I were you. Post facts not lies...you are highly mis-informed.

[denise7021]

Why is a second surgery always referred to as an

"enhancement" or a "touch up". It's another surgery with even more risk than the first!

[blicksflicks]

I just got a question. How is Tiger Woods winning a U.S. Open if he has been ruined from LASIK? You know, it's one thing to exaggerate the complications of a surgical procedure, but it's another thing to lie about a person's health. You SUCK!

[dkantis]

Why don't you ask Tiger about his ex-girlfriend Kashmira Karanjia who was ruined from LASIK and went after Tiger. What a piece of shit he is to endorse this unethical procedure. Do the research and you will find a lot of tissue was removed and he has had multiple surgeries already. Think about this...If it was so successful, then why did he have more surgeries after the first? Hmnnnnn. I await to hear on the news that he is going BLIND so that everyone will know the truth. Until then....

[dkantis]

But, what if, a patient takes the LAW into their own hands, now ruined and suicidal feeling there is nothing to live for? Doesn't this create an "x" factor for the Lying LASIK Doctors to think about? Does safety now come before money for once? Only time will tell. Basically, the Lying LASIK Doctors have lied in order to save a lawsuit, while pushing the patient past the Statute of Limitations to sue them which is about 2 years usually, all while ruining his patient's eyesight and life.

[PCcmd]

Oh what a load! If they screw up your Lasik surgery they would either fix it or you could sue them. This is just a bunch of conspiracy crap, dont believe it.

[dkantis]

PCcmd: Why don't you educate yourself on the recent Emergency FDA Hearing that was held on April 25th, 2008 in DC, that the FDA has reported an estimated 600,000 Ruined Lives from LASIK (and ruined families). You can hear all of the doctors, attorneys, regular people of all walks of life tell you how LASIK has ruined their lives and how the MD's lie to protect each other. YouTube: FDA LASIK or go to my website: lifeafterlasik, and click on picture as you scroll down! Good luck!

[PCcmd]

If you look at percentages, many people come out completely happy with the surgery. Yes there is risks, and that is understandable. But by agreeing to undergo the surgery you are accepting those risks because they out weigh the benefits. Plenty of people come out completely happy after having the surgery. and for most cases which makes up for almost 90% of the screw up, your going to need glasses for the rest of your life. So does a good portion of America.

[dkantis]

No, incorrect again. Please do your homework. The success rates are skewed. The FDA outsourced the clincal studies to profit motivated device manufacturers. If you study the FDA Panel and listen the the attorneys, the doctors, the PHD's who have done the research, you will discover that everyone, including both you and I, have been "duped." We were all sold a bunch of 95.4% success rate BS! The true success rates are more like 65%. How do YOU define success or informed consent? Start here.

[PCcmd]

Plenty of people are looking for cheap easy Lasik surgery. What your looking for is not a great deal but an experienced doctor who has a high successes rate. If your not willing to put in the time to find a qualified doctor (and yes they exist) then yes your success rate will be 65%. Its the poor doctors that skew the percentages.

[dkantis]

Every LASIK dr has patients with Dry Eye Syndrome, putting drops in every second of the day and seeing "halos/starbursts/contrast issues" at night. Are you aware that the FDA is being investigated as LASIK centers soon will be as well, for NOT reporting patient adverse outcomes? This could possibly start a Class Action Lawsuit across the board. If you are a LASIK doctor, you should have been reporting ANY adverse patient period. If you have not been, time will tell what happens...

[dkantis]

I guess you aren't familar in trying to sue a Lying LASIK Doctor after having signed their Informed Consent Form. Why don't you educate yourself by Youtube searching: FDA LASIK, CRSQA LASIK. They LIE to cover for each other and won't testify against each other because for the most part, they all have lawsuits ongoing...they are all corrupt! I guess it is a conspiracy...you are right.

[dkantis]

It isn't me that is dictating to the consumer. Whether you are a student, physician, or lay person, we all have been lied to about this procedure and that is what you are failing to comprehend. The 95% success rate reported is false, and is more like 75% after 3, 5, 7, 10 years post LASIK. How do I know this? I have spent 1,000's of hours speaking with suicidal patients, have flown all over the world, and that is why LASIK is all over the news this week. Did you see the FDA on tv lately?

[dkantis]

Lasik surgery has ruined my life. It was the worst mistake of my life. The thing that I didn't take into consideration that now I know better, is that Doctors LIE and do it daily!! Even though they swore the Hippocratic Oath "to do NO harm," they all lie and do anything for MONEY...Please be smarter than myself and tens of thousands like me who have lost their quality of vision. You've been warned!!

[dkantis]

Glenn Hagele of USAEyes and CRSQA is NOT very popular with hurt lasik patients.  He has cont'd to harrass us, attempted blackmail with many hurt lasik patients that operate anti-lasik websites and is a cont'd liar in many people's opinions. BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL OF GLENN HAGELE. Google Groups: Glenn Hagele CRSQA Fraud and you will discover much more references about this individual...
