US Food and Drug Administration responds to feedback from the public
and LASIK experts.
WASHINGTON DC, Sept. 19, 2008 -- The US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has responded to a public advisory panel of outside experts who
listened to patient experiences with LASIK and considered how to
improve information for patients and physicians about LASIK.
In response to the feedback from the public and LASIK experts, the FDA
has implemented several improvements in communications with the public
regarding LASIK-related safety issues.

CRSQA (Council for Refractive Quality Assurance) is a referral service for
LASIK surgeons, operated by Glenn Hagele out of his home. Despite its
pretentious name, CRSQA is just a cynical marketing ploy that "certifies"
refractive surgeons willing to fork over $7,000 in the first year and
$5,000/year thereafter. In exchange, Glenn Hagele provides these surgeons
with a bogus seal of approval on his USAEYES.org web site to promote their
practices. Don't be fooled by Glenn Hagele's advertising claims - CRSQA's
quality "standards" are actually below industry standards. Glenn Hagele is
not qualified to issue certifications as he is not a doctor, but simply a
high school graduate with a single college course in marketing.
Out of 17,000 ophthalmologists in the US, about 30-50 pay Glenn Hagele to
market their practices. It is somewhat difficult to tell exactly what
ophthalmologists are members of CRSQA at any one time, as Glenn Hagele has
designed his web site in such a manner to implicitly suggest that 17,000
ophthalmologists are members.

Considering the work I do to advocate for Lasik patients and the
nonprofit patient advocacy I founded, their acts seem to have no logic
or reason. Even stranger is the fact that these people did not seek
our information before surgery and did not use doctors certified by
our organization, but you can't use logic and reason on illogical and
unreasonable people.
The outrageous accusations, manipulations, half-truths, outright lies,
false complaints, and attacks on me and others by these anti-Lasik
zealots have caused them some serious trouble.
One recently had the FBI show up at his door investigating an alleged
extortion attempt against his former surgeon and had previously been
charged with felony use of false identity and resisting arrest.
Another is being sued in North Carolina Superior Court for publicizing
my personal identity including Social Security number on her website.
Her employer is investigating how her access to federal secure
computer systems was used to publish defamation on the Internet, and
she uses so many aliases it is hard to keep up.
And one has a permanent restraining order against him for threatening
Dallas Lasik doctor William Boothe, MD with physical violence, has
been sued for defamation, lost, found in contempt of court and
sentenced to jail, is in bankruptcy, and I'm personally suing him for
defamation and invasion of privacy in California Superior Court where
another restraining order has been issued against him.
