FDA responds to Lasik Advisory Board

If you have already had Lasik or are interested in having Lasik you should be aware that the US Food and Drug Administration has now finally responded to a public advisory panel of outside Lasik industry professionals who have taken the time to hear about the experiences of Lasik patients. Together this public Lasik advisory panel is considering how to drastically improve the availability of good information for potential Lasik patients and Lasik physicians about Lasik.

The Food and Drug Administration has responded to public and Lasik expert feedback and is now implementing multiple improvements in communications with the public in regards to Lasik related safety concerns and issues.
Some of these improvements include keeping the FDA’s website more up to date to make it easier to report any Lasik problems to MedWatch, the government’s platform to receive complaints in regards to FDA approved medical instruments. Within the updated public information you will now see more of a focus on any reports of patients experiencing halos, glare, night vision problems and dry eye syndrome. These issues are very well known side-effects of Lasik Eye Surgery. To learn more about Lasik side-effects please visit Lasik911 .

Patient information cards are now being constructed with full partnership of the American Academy of Ophthalmology that Lasik Doctors can fill out with the patient’s exact eye measurements before their Lasik Procedure. Lasik Patients will be able to retain this information card to assist their Doctor in calculating the lens implant power in the event they require future cataract surgery.

It is great to see that the FDA is finally addressing some of the existing concerns about Lasik side-effects and the lack of good Lasik educational information.
