My husband is an Optometrist, and it did not do LASIK for his own eyes. Actually, I do not think I know one Optometrist in our circle of friends who did LASIK. They pretty much all wear either contact or glasses. It does not seem like we should ban LASIK, but LASIK is not for everyone. And here in US, LASIK is a lucrative business. I would not be surprised that some LASIK have been done on people who were not good candidate at the first place. And now those people are disappointed, after spending several thousand dollars.
