Do not even THINK of doing this. Do some research that is not an ad. many very unhappy patients out there.[/quote]

Why do you think that replacement cornea surgery is such a bad idea?  I googled around a bit on non-commercial medical websites and it seems very common.  It is a very common surgery for older people with cataracts to have and is recommended as quite safe.  Medicare even pays for it.

Can you explain further or provide some links?

here is the link and this is my doctor also. Note this is not about LASIK -- it is about IOL replacement lenses; also as he says in the article, not that common. LASIK is very different, but I would just do LASIK and not a lens replacement. Dr Rubenfeld is expensive but he is one of the best in this area. [/quote]
