Dr. Schwartz:
The LASIK is wonderful, but in its best with the CustomVue™ and the iris registration you are talking, 97% in my practice don’t need touch ups. Well translating, you need three percent do. If you’re doing 200 procedures a month, well now you have six of them that need to come back and have it done every single month. That’s a real number; it does happen. So there are patients who need touch ups.
There are also some patients for whom a touch up isn’t safe and, you know, whenever I am able to tell patients ahead of time that I think they are only going to be able to have one procedure done, I try to do that before they have their original procedure so they know if they fall into that three percent that they may not be able to have a second one.
