The tragic suicide of a Pennsylvania police officer has highlighted concerns about the safety of LASIK eye surgery, which some patients claim has left them with severe and lasting symptoms. Despite LASIK providers asserting safety rates of 95-99%, individuals like Paula Cofer argue that many experience significant complications, including chronic pain and suicidal ideations. Cofer, who leads an online support group, notes that studies indicate the true rate of adverse outcomes is much higher than advertised. This growing concern has led to the emergence of support networks for those affected by the procedure's negative impacts.
"The LASIK lobby and the surgeons will tell you only one percent of patients have issues afterward. That's not true. There are multiple studies that indicate otherwise."
"If you understand Lasik and what it does to the eyes and cornea, you realize you can't do it on a healthy eye and not expect complications."
