With our busy lives, we often put off doing things that will benefit us, even when it’s as simple as scheduling a haircut or taking the car in for a tune up. That goes double for something like surgery to correct blurry vision: It becomes easier to continuously put it off, waiting for the “right time.” I’m guilty of it, too! But when…
This post originally appeared on the ARSC Insight Blog. Two new PROWL studies published online in the JAMA Ophthalmology shed new and important light on patient experiences after LASIK surgery. What is PROWL? The goal of the FDA’s PROWL (Patient Reported Outcomes with LASIK) studies was to validate a new questionnaire that gives patients an accurate and complete way to…

As you may have seen and heard, Dr. Solomon has been around the world and back this year, serving as president of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.

Sometimes it starts with a mild tingling sensation. Or maybe your eyes just feeling drier than usual. It’s the beginning of a day when your contacts aren’t going to be comfortable. And, it’s disappointing, because for more than 30 million people in the U.S., contacts are the vision correction of choice without broadcasting that they, in fact, can’t see well…
Many of the patients we see for consultations at our around Charleston, SC, are prepared with a list of questions about the surgery. Often, each patient has the same concerns, so we try to address them early on and leave time for more questions and discussions after their surgery. With this in mind, I’ve met with Dr. Hood and compiled…
So you’ve been considering LASIK and in the course of your research you keep coming across the results of clinical studies. What are those? Do they matter? Should you pay attention to them? In a word – yes! Clinical studies, in a nutshell, are how we know what we know about LASIK and thousands of other medical treatments. They’re the…
In 2009, our team at the took on the enormous task of the first global scientific literature review – “LASIK World Literature Review – Quality of Life and Patient Satisfaction” – which compiled more than 2,900 peer-reviewed papers on LASIK published between 1988 and 2008. At that time, we were extremely pleased to find the global LASIK patient satisfaction rate…
As an ophthalmologist who performs here in Charleston, South Carolina, one of my favorite questions to ask patients is, “When was the last time you went without glasses?” I often encounter a long pause as patients mentally rewind to a time — years or even decades earlier — when clear vision without corrective lenses was the norm for them. That’s…
