American FDA holds public discussion on LASIK and Phakic IOLs (PIOLs)

April 26th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Representatives from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeon (ASCRS) made presentations yesterday in Fairfax, Virginia. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Ophthalmic Devices Panel (ODP) had committed to hold an open public discussion to allow people to make comments about LASIK and PIOLs. The presentations highlighted LASIK and its effect on quality of life, as well as restating the commitment of ASCRS to the upcoming LASIK Quality of Life Study. The military’s experience with LASIK was presented from members of the United States armed forces.

In preparation for today’s meeting, written and spoken testimony from both satisfied and dissatisfied LASIK patients had been sent to Karen F. Warburton of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health. Satisfied patients discussed improvements to their individual safety, ability to work effectively, enjoyment of social functions plus ability to drive.
