LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis) has become one of the most successful procedures to correct refractive errors, replacing glasses and contact lenses. There are no precedents for the number of procedures that are being performed Worldwide. Over one million eyes are being treated this year alone. The rapid return of functional vision, lack of discomfort, and the overall stability and accuracy of the treatment have led to this astounding success. The risk/benefit ratio for most patients exceeds that of contact lenses. Although the FDA has determined the excimer laser vision correction procedure as "safe and effective", there are still many critical factors that must be considered in order for each patient to achieve the best possible result.

To Dr. Foulkes from Robert F. Jasineick:
I am sure that you have had many letters written to you in grateful thanks in the fact that you have made many patients absolutely full of joy in the outcome of the surgery you have performed on them. It is absolutely very obvious that you are more than dedicated to your profession!!! I did not just pick up the paper or any other form of advertising and decide to have you perform my surgery. I did my homework and learned that you were the best! I must admit that I was hesitant to have anyone do laser surgery on my precious eyes, but I am now so glad that I had it done. Seeing is the self-satisfaction that I craved. You have a very professional and dedicated staff. Thanks for everything.
