SUMMARY-10 LASIK Myth Busters

Tom Tooma, MD

There are a lot of misconceptions regarding LASIK, whether in the lay media or advice given in

professional settings like doctor's offices. Some of these misconceptions are positive, over-promisin

g

what the technology can do while other can be negative, causing undue hesitation, apprehension an

d

erroneous information. Other misconceptions are just wrong. This lecture will review the current

technolo"gies of LASIK and reveal .the 10 most commonly heard myths regarding refractive surgery to

dispel them; The purpose of this lecture is to provide professionals with the best literature and

information to better educate our patients about refractive surgery through established research and

experience.

Is LASIK Worth Saving?

The Facts, Fiction and Future

In spite of LASIK's long clinical and historical presence, misconceptions re'garding the risks and benefits of this

procedure persist, eroding_ both the reputation of the procedure and of those in the field that remain its

unwavering supporters.

The aim of this lecture is to explore the myths and realities of the LASIK procedure using an evidenced-based

approach and to evaluate upcoming advancements.

LASIK IS THE SAFEST, most successful and most studied elective procedure in the world.

LASIK has the highest patient satisfaction rate of any elective procedure.. ·

LASIK results have continually improved as technology and surgical techniques advance and preoperative

diagnostic screening and patient selection become more refined.

LASIK Complications:

Foundation Established

Complications of LASIK higher in patients with over 7 D myopia ·

Patients being treated with LASIK for up to 25 diopters of myopia

Selecting the Right Patient and Treatment

Patients with large pupils had more quality of vision symptoms in the early postoperative period, but no

correlation was observed 6 months after surgery.

There is a significant transient loss of corneal s·ensation following LASIK

Corneal sensation improves to preoperative levels at 6 months following surgery

Dry eye signs and symptoms statistically return to normal at 6 months following surgery

FDA Public Hearing

140 complaints to the FDA after ov~r 10 million procedures

Anti-LASIK activists wished to ban the procedure

Public testimony included personal stories of depression, suicide or suicidal ideation, and other psychological

problems

Dry Eye Rates

Pre- & Post-Operative

LASIK Myth #1:

Physicians Would Not Have LASIK on Their Own Eyes

LASIK Fact:

Physicians have among the highest prevalence of having undergone LASIK of any occupation

Lasik surgeons are 4X more likely to have Lasik than the general population

LASIK Myth #2:

The Long Term Effects of LASIK are Not Known

LASIK Fact:

LASIK has over a 20 year track record

Long term studies have shown refractive stability and safety

LASIK Myth #3:

Contact Lenses are Safer

Than LASIK

LASIK Fact:

Daily wear contact lenses are likely less safe than LASIK when worn for 30 years

Extended wear contact lenses are definitely less safe than LASIK when worn for 30 years

LASIK Myth #4:

LASIK Increases the Risk of Glare and Halo Compared to Glasses

Is LASIK Worth Saving? Yes!

LASIK IS THE SAFEST, most successful and most studied elective procedure in the world.

LASIK has the highest pati.ent satisfaction rate of any elective procedure.

LASIK results have continually improved as technology and surgical techniques advance and preoperative

diagnostic screening and patient selection become more refined.

Moving Forward

Our goal is continued improvement of patient satisfaction and 100% of patients seeing the same or better

·following LASIK than prior to surgery.

We need to embrace patients who are dissatisfied with their vision following LASIK and never allow them to feel

abandoned.

We need to provide a better informed consent to our patients particularly those with psychiatric disease.

We need to continue to invest resources into improving the safety and efficacy of laser vision correction.

In Conclusion

The golden age of laser vision correction is today and tomorrow looks even brighter.

We should be proud of what we have accomplished.

We should never be satisfied.

Dr. Tom· Tooma Medical Director NVISION Laser Eye Centers

Dr. Tooma has performed more than 100,000 LASIK procedures and believes that laser vision correction at NVISION is as safe as it can be. In fact, he has performed LASIK surgery on hundreds of doctors, including 250 eye doctors. That's why NVISION and Dr. Tooma are The Eye Doctors' :tl:1 Choice for their eyes and their patients' eyes. Dr. Tooma believes that the combination of experience and technology gives NVISIONS's patients the highest possible likelihood cit achieving 20/20. or better vision through LASIK procedures.

A pioneer in the world of LASIK surgery, Dr. Tooma has been a principal investigator in the field of laser vision correction since 1993. He helped several excimer laser manufacturers ol;>tain FDA approvals .for their lasers in. the United States .. He holds the record for many firsts: he was the first doctor in California to perform LASIK surgery and was the first to perform custom Wavefront-guided LASIK. He was also the first in the U.S. to use the FemtoSecond Laser (lntraLase FS30 - bladeless all laser LASIK), which is safer and more precise than a traditional blade.

In 2010, Dr. Tooma purchased TLC's interest in the 8 Southern California locations and formed NVISION Laser Eye Centers. At NVISION, Dr. Tooma provides his patients with a lifetime commitment, giving them the assurance that if they need any enhancement surgeries .in the future, they can be performed at any NVISION center, for life and at no cost.

Dr. Toor'na received his M.D. from Loma Linda University School of Medicine, where he also completed his internship in internal medicine and residency in ophthalmology. He completed his fellowship in Corneal and Refractive Surgery at the Emory University Department of Ophthalmology in Atlanta, Georgia. He has been board certified in ophthalmology for more than 25 years.

For Dr. Tooma, helping patients achieve their vision goals is his pc1ssion. "I feel privileged and blessed to participate in what is a life-changing experience for my patients,!' he said. ·

In his spare time, Dr. Tooma has served on medical teaching missions to Romania, Bulgaria, China and Fiji, helping teach local ophthalmology doctors new surgical techniques. In 2008, he and his wife, Marta Tooma, D.D.S., founded the Mission at Natuvu Creek in Fiji. The Mission serves the 250,000 people living on the island, with medical, dental and eye care provided by visiting physicians, including the Toomas.
