    I originally went to this office for LASIK surgery evaluation. The doctor told me for Two reasons that I was not a candidate. I esteem her knowledge and expertise without question. She found a cataract that makes Lasik not a good idea but every year she tells me to eat another year for a lens implant. I wish she would just be more specific about details. How much is it progressing? She told me a little bit! Let's wait another year. If it's really going to be 5 years just come out with it. I know she can't predict the future but.... she could say the other reason (complicated) is not going to change and that's another reason why no LASIK for you. She could just say that too every year.
