Q: (Initially posted on 11/5/03) FROM MEMBER KUNJAL P. IN NY
What is LASIK? I know that it is a procedure to correct your vision, but how exactly does it work. What is the procedure? is it the best method to correct your vision? and if you have no other choice but to get LASIK, is it safe?

A: FROM MENTOR JOAN LUSK IN RI
The FDA's site http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/lasik/ ought to be
authoritative. My own ophthamologist has had the surgery, so he
evidently thinks it's safe, and it worked for him. I'm not quite
vain enough to try it! Yet.
