There are always successes and failures when it comes to everything, and LASIK eye correction surgery is no exception. We had both a success story and failure story recently. So, I would have liked to bring more good news to break the balance, but a failure story is all I have today.

Well, it’s not a failure story per se, but a news release regarding Kathy Griffin - the star behind reality TV show, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. Somewhere around the end of the article, we have Kathy Griffin talking about how she has “…lost 30 to 35 percent of my vision in my right eye…” after undergoing LASIK eye correction surgery. That’s a failure alright.

That’s not all though as she has now had a total of five surgeries on her right eye - which is very, very bad. And now, her doctors are recommending a cornea transplant - which apparently only has a 50% chance of success.

Overall, it’s clear that Kathy Griffin’s LASIK experience has been nothing but bad. It is these kind of experiences that make up the 1% of failures that LASIK surgeons say will occur. But hopefully, newer and better technology will allow LASIK to reach 100% success rates, or at least, a level where failures are very negligible, in the near future.
