Dr. Ed Hedaya, lasik surgeon admits lasik causes permanent dry eyes!
Ace
Dry eyes are temporary after Laser Vision Correction.
Fact:
With Lasik, a drier eye is common after surgery and usually permanent,
although mild for most patients. PRK however causes significant less
dryness. (See our comparison chart).
More myths!
9. Myth
Laser Vision Correction removes the need for reading glasses.
Fact:
A "mono-vision" treatment can reduce the dependency on reading glasses
after the age of 40 if they are the appropriate candidates. However,
most patients after this age use reading glasses.
Another myth!
4. Myth
Lasik is superior to PRK (LASEK).
Fact:
Lasik may be more convenient than PRK, but PRK has some significant
safety benefits. (See our comparison chart)

away from LASIK and into having PRK done. I will personally see to
it that this quack does not continue to use these disgusting tactics.
Thanks for pointing out this quack to me.

PRK is almost as risky. How is he a quack if he prefers PRK instead of
lasik? Both correct refractive errors and both have risks.

Leave it to the ortho-retard to dig this crap up.

people into PRK by scaring them away from LASIK.
PRK is a simpler procedure, not a better one. It is easier and less
risky to amputate a leg than it is to do a vein graft to try and
preserve the function of the leg.
I don't understand why you feel it necessary to keep talking about
things you know less than nothing about. You should realize that you
are not that bright, and you need to open your ears and close your
mouth.

Personally, he should be pushing for orthoK, but hes a laser surgeon.
PRK gets the job done just like lasik with slightly less risk than
lasik but still far from safe. Alot of surgeons in fact are now pushing
PRK and rightfully so as its the lesser evil compared to lasik. The
complication list is a little less long for PRK than lasik. Not having
a flap is one big reason.
