Second Opinion Referral to International Experts
Lasik may be the most popular elective surgery with more than 11 million recipients worldwide, but it is not perfect. Even if only a reported 0.5% of patients have unresolved serious Lasik complications, and 3% have unresolved problems of any kind, it is too many. Most Lasik complications resolve within the normal six-month healing period, but sometimes a more rapid or aggressive response is appropriate.

To address the needs of patients with Lasik complications and provide doctors a single source for related studies, CRSQA works with an international network of independent doctors, nurses, technicians, researchers, facilities, and industry experts specifically to assist with Lasik complications and other related problems. This network of experts will assist patients in a positive environment of support, empathy, cooperation, and understanding - while focusing on a cure for the difficulty.

News About Developing Technology, Techniques and Medications
Recently advances in wavefront, laser, medication, and contact lenses hold the promise of correcting or managing problems induced by surgery that were previously thought to be insurmountable. At ComplicatedEyes, we work with doctors throughout the world to bring advanced technology and expertise to you. Not all complications can be resolved, but it is our mission to do what we can to make your situation better.

Community
Sometimes the best medicine is a community of people who understand and express concern.  The USAEyes Community Bulletin Board is where others who have had similar problems converse, exchange information, and discuss their own personal journey with Lasik complications and other refractive eye surgery issues.

Patient/Consumer Group
ComplicatedEyes is a sister website of the Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance (USAEyes), a nonprofit non-governmental patient/consumer organization originally formed to provide objective information about Lasik and other refractive eye surgery issues, and to help potential patients select a qualified surgeon. USAEyes has recently expanded into assisting those with Lasik or other refractive eye surgery related problems with the launch of ComplicatedEyes.
