Follow Up on NY Times

I previously posted about the New York Times article discussing LASIK. Since that time, the President of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons has submitted a letter to the editor that has been published. In order to follow up to the New York Times article, I think it is important that anyone who reads the article on LASIK also reads the response. I think that it provides a broader context in which to understand the experiences of those who are cited in the article. As is written in the letter, the fact that most people do very well with LASIK does not mean that anyone is trying to diminish the subjective experiences of those individuals who are not happy post-LASIK.
