LASIK Blog by La Jolla LASIK Institute

June 24th, 2011

As a boutique LASIK surgeon, I don’t have the top-of-mind awareness of, say, McDonald’s. But I KNOW I make a better burger.

Help La Jolla LASIK beat big corporate medicine to win “San Diego’s Best Laser Eye Center”, and I’ll make you a real burger like my mom used to make.

Hand-ground. Hand-formed. Grilled. Juicy. At the beach.

Vote and rally the vote every day through June 27th. Get creative. Let me know what you did.

Come September when the results are announced, we’ll celebrate your efforts with a burger party at the beach. (Grilled veggies, too. I’m an equal opportunity griller.)

Vote La Jolla LASIK Institute daily through June 27th for Best Laser Eye Center in the Healthy Living category:

See you at the beach,

Glare and Halos Worse with Glasses and Contacts than LASIK

June 6th, 2011

A recent large (3,800 patient) multicenter survey, the Needs, Symptoms, Incidence, Global Eye Health Trends (NSIGHT) study, found that about 50% of glasses- and contact lens-wearers experience glare and halos more than three times a week.

About 40% of glasses and contact lens-wearers found the glare and halos unsatisfactory and had not been able to find a solution. Add on top of that the dissatisfaction with frames, contact lens solutions, infections, and the dissatisfaction rate becomes, well, way too high.

In contrast, 97% of LASIK and PRK patients are satisfied and would recommend the procedure to a friend. In large studies, 3% of LASIK and PRK patients are unsatisfied for any reason, including glare and halos, hating their mean doctor, no wifi reception, bad office coffee, or no beverages at all.

Further details of the study will be released over the course of the year in multiple journals.
