He says he regrets his role in bringing the procedure to the public.According to his own analysis of industry data, the complication rate of Lasik falls <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lasik-eye-surgery-retired-fda-adviser-says-procedure-should-be-taken-off-market/" target="_blank">between</a> 10% and 30%. One <a href="https://www.10news.com/news/national/investigation-reveals-several-lasik-patients-took-their-lives-due-to-severe-complications" target="_blank">investigation</a> of an FDA database by the reporter Jace Larson found more than 700 complaints of severe pain, described as “worse than childbirth” or as if “their eyeballs would stick to their eyelids almost every night”.Last year, the FDA <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/07/health/lasik-injuries-fda.html" target="_blank">released draft guidance</a> telling doctors that prospective patients should be warned they might be left with double vision, dry eyes, difficulty driving at night, and persistent eye pain.In one clinical trial from 2017, the FDA found that nearly half of participants reported experiencing “<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaophthalmology/fullarticle/2587831" target="_blank">new visual symptoms</a>” after undergoing surgery. Those effects can show up as the presence of glare, halos, or starbursts, especially at night</blockquote>
