Complaints about Lasik eye surgery using lasers made by companies including Advanced Medical Optics Inc. and Alcon Inc. are a priority for U.S. regulators, a government official said today.
The Food and Drug Administration, working with doctors' groups and the National Eye Institute, plans to study how Lasik affects patients' quality of life no later than next year, Daniel Schultz, head of the agency's medical devices center, said today. Identifying why complications occur will help those considering Lasik make more educated choices, he said.
