She also argued that she knew more than 40 people who took her life because she could not endure the constant pain and vision problems that developed after the procedure.
Paula Cofer, the 66 -year -old Tampa of Florida, said on Wednesday, “I didn’t want to insist sometimes, but I decided to say how dangerous this surgery could be.”
“Lasik lobby and surgeon will say that only 1 %of patients have a problem later. It’s not true. There are many studies that indicate other ways.
She said, “The percentage of people with poor results is two digits, not 1 %.
In 1999, more than 10 million people in the United States suffered laser vision because Lasik was approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Medical Journal Clinical OphthalmologyThis says that 700,000 to 800,000 people join each year.
Corporer Lasik Complications Support Group In Facebook, one of the many organizations of social media is wrong in response to the Lasik procedure.
“I understand that if you understand what is about Lasik and eyes and cornea, you can’t do it with healthy eyes and don’t expect complications.

Tim and Stefanie Kingerski, the parents in his sorrow, I told CBS News This week, their son went through the procedure.
Kingerskis said Ryan had a headache, a double vision and saw dark spots and plotters.
Ryan’s parents told a story similar to Dan Rose, the widow of Detroit TV Meteorologicalist Jessica Starrr. He said he had struggled with intense eye pain and vision problems after laser eye surgery.
The 35 -year -old mother was hanged on December 12, 2018, two months after he went through Lasik to correct his vision.

It is the decision that he regretted, and he has publicly talked about Lasik’s risk since 2010.
“Because the surgeon is very powerful and still still, my questions and concerns were not important,” he said.
Waxler previously showed a complication between 10% to 30% of the industrial data analysis to CBS in 2019, and in 2011, the FDA petitioned to issue Lasik’s voluntary recalls.
“People come in with healthy eyes and what they need are glasses. But when a surgeon cuts the cornea, he will remove the nerves and leave the outline in a strange shape, and some patients will have difficulty dealing with it.”
FDA Warning on the website There is a risk of lasik, including vision loss, glare, halo, dual vision and/or other “visual symptoms”.
But the US refractive surgery committee Say on the website: “Lasik is safe and is one of the optional surgical procedures that are the most studied today. The percentage of complications that threaten the vision of Lasik Eye Surgery is estimated to be less than 1 %.”
