Hey everybody, its Dr. Sam, I want to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. Well, today, I am going to be talking about the pros and cons of lasik surgery. This is a surgery. It's called a refractive surgery, the surgeon reshapes the cornea, and it helps you get rid of your prescription. Now, the reason why I'm talking about this today is that I recently put a post up on the platform tic toc. And I came out against LASIK surgery in this video. And the reason why I came out against it was due to 1000s of patients that I've seen over the years that had difficulty adjusting to this refractive surgery. And so I shared my point of view, which was that there are two types of prescriptions that we deal with the prescription that's in our eyeballs. And the prescription in our brain, our mind our body that creates the prescription in the eye. Another way to say it is that we want to blame faulty vision on the eyeball. But it's not the eyeballs fault. It's the programming that we're doing to our eyes, that causes the prescription to begin with. Well, the firestorm that I created on Tik Tok was amazing, I would say 95% of the comments, were so negative against what I had to say. And he was great, because it really got people to think.

And, you know, they, they talked about why they loved LASIK surgery and why it works so well. And how can I, you know, say such a thing, when when they had such great results. So some of the things I might say in this broadcast, might be a little offensive to you, as it was to the Tick Tock community. And my apologies. It's not the reason why I put out my content. These are direct experiences that I've had. And I get to see people who've had the mistakes who've had the problems. So I'm not making it up. Definitely, there was a segment of the the posts that really spoke truth, at least through my experience. So I want to address LASIK surgery a little more deeply. And you be the judge. I'd love your comments, you can email me at hello at Dr. Sam berne.com. And I'd love to get into a dialogue with you. You don't have to agree with me. That's not the point. I actually love different points of view. So when LASIK surgery, usually it's done for people that have moderate to high amounts of myopia, astigmatism.

And there's some things that can go on with LASIK surgery, such as eye pain, intermittent blurred vision, or recurrent of the the old prescription coming back in the eyes, where you need glasses or contacts, halos around lights, double vision. So these things definitely are part of the terrain of what happens in this elective surgery. But it is a quick fix. It certainly will get rid of the prescription in the eyes, at least for a while.
