CRSQA Free America
Brent Hanson - USAEYES-FRAUD.com
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 issues "certifications" to LASIK
surgeons, even though he has no educational credentials other than a
High School Diploma.
Out of 17,000 ophthalmologists in the US, about 25-40 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. To further complicate
matters, Glenn Hagele often lists surgeons as operating in multiple
states, in order to inflate the numbers of states in which CRSQA
surgeons are present.
The map below represents the author's best effort to cut through the
smoke and mirrors, and identify the real surgeons who are members of
CRSQA, and the states in which they operate. The map below shows states
which have CRSQA surgeons. States which are color-coded in blue do not
have CRSQA surgeons. States which are color-coded in light pink do have
CRSQA surgeons.

For geographic areas where there is no CRSQA certified Lasik doctor,
we have our 50 Tough Questions For Your Lasik Doctor to help evaluate
potential surgeons.

A handful of people who had a bad Lasik outcome have decided to direct
their ire toward me. Their attacks include lying about my financial
history, insulting my wife, publishing my personal identity including
Social Security number, bank account numbers, credit card numbers on
their bulletin boards, defamation, trademark infringement, listing
doctors we have not certified as recommended, harassing those who fund
and govern our nonprofit organization, and often doing this while
hiding behind false identities and multiple aliases.
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 investigated 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.
