@ArchelleMD @KSTP The FDA's PROWL data is often misinterpreted. As you can see in the study table - a small subset of study participants reported new symptoms most of which resolved with time and healing.

And, the RSC offers a breadth of information, including the latest clinical studies, on LASIK, safety, candidacy, consultations, informed consents and more.

The FDA has reaffirmed repeatedly LASIK is safe and effective. It would have been helpful to explain to the viewer what the FDA Draft Labeling is (and is not). Here is the RSC's take on it:

It is not EVERYONE but those who "reported no visual symptoms at baseline, 43% (95% CI, 31%-55%) and 46% (95% CI, 33%-58%) of PROWL-1 and PROWL-2 participants, respectively, reported a new visual symptom at 3 months."
