An estimated 6 million Americans have undergone Lasik surgery, which permanently reshapes the cornea, a clear layer covering the eye. There are no guarantees of 20/20 vision and the long-term safety of the procedure is still unknown.>>

Some estimates put it as high as 12 million.

95 percent satisfied means 5 percent not. Five percent of 6 million is 300,000 people . . . but note below only a "small group" has complained.

Regulators agreed to hold the meeting after years of complaints from a small group of patients who say their eyesight has been irreparably damaged by the surgery. The agency received 140 reports of Lasik-related problems between 1998 and 2006, according to an agency spokeswoman.

Dean Kantis, who is scheduled to speak Friday, says his vision has suffered since his Lasik surgery in 1998.

"My life is a blur," Kantis said. "When I look at a computer screen I see two pages; when I look up at the moon, I see three of them."

Double vision, night-vision disturbances and dry eye are among the side effects outlined in literature given to Lasik patients, but Kantis and others say physicians often gloss over the risks.

"Just before the procedure they shove the informed consent form in front of you, but you just sign it and no one reads the fine print," Kantis said.>>

I healed my myopia of 30+ years by teaching myself to use my eyes with trust instead of fear.

It grieves me that people are allowing their eyes to be cut. Not only do they risk permanent damage -- they miss out forever on a chance to experience a genuine healing . . .
