Trends are Emerging in the Latest Survey of ISRS and AAO Refractive Surgeons      – Walter Bethke, Managing Editor
When Mobile, Ala., surgeon Richard Duffey read an article in the mainstream press in which the relative of a LASIK patient with a poor outcome complained that “no ophthalmologists have LASIK done on their own eyes or their loved ones,” he became annoyed, since he knew that wasn’t the case. To help set the record straight, he used the latest survey of the members of the International Society of Refractive Surgery/American Academy of Ophthalmology to ask not only how many surgeons have had refractive surgery, but also how many of their family members have had the surgery, as well.
The results far outpaced refractive surgery’s penetration in the general population. (Click here to read the full article)

I spoke to left-hander Brian Burres…and he said that he had gotten LASIK eye surgery earlier this offseason.  Burres, who was miffed by his struggles last year, knows that his location will have to be far better to maintain a major league roster spot in ’09.  But being able to see the cather’s signs won’t hurt either.  He admitted that his vision was so bad last year that his catcher at times had to use different signs so he’d be able to see them.
