His e-mail address is [email protected] more beneficial to patients than the current laser used – photorefractive keratecto- my, also known as PRK. “LASIK can be more satisfactory to patients than PRK,” said Dr. Woodford Van Meter of the University of Kentucky. “It clearly is effective.” But the problem with approval of this laser is that only very skilled eye surgeons would be able to use the laser effectively. According to the article, the FDA said that the LASIK laser surgery is so complicated of a surgery that it depends heavily on the skill of the operating surgeon. “It’s not a drive-through procedure,” said Dr. Marian Macsai, the director of West Virginia’s Medical Eye bank. The article noted there are many examples that doctors can do to correct nearsightedness in their patients. Some examples listed included the reshaping of patients’ corneas by making tiny incisions with a knife. Another way the procedure is used is to blast the cornea with a cold beam of ultraviolet light from a different kind of laser. Dr. George Waring, a professor at Emory University who helped develop the laser for Summit Technology, said that this laser can only be beneficial to new patients. “From the patients’ point of view, this is a much more user-friendly procedure (than PRK),” he said in the article. Although it may work just fine, more studies on the laser should be done before its release to the public market. Although highly-skilled surgeons may be able to use the laser, what about the doctors who are not as qualified who want to make a quick buck? In the article, Emory is charging $2,400 per eye for the procedure. It may be in a patient’s best interest to be just that – patient. If some type of flaw is found with this laser, it could save the sight of those who might have had this procedure before extensive testing was done.

The former heavyweight champ, whose infamous ear-biting of Evander Holyfield last month led to the revocation of his boxing license and a $3 million fine, could eventually return as an analyst for Showtime’s boxing broadcast team. Jay Larkin, an executive producer for Showtime boxing programs, said Thursday that reports that the cable network was considering hir- ing Tyson to help deliver the blow-by-blow of matches were premature. ``I will not rule out anything, nor will I endorse anything at this moment, until I know what Mike is doing with his life,’’ Larkin said. Tyson was sanctioned Wednesday by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Technically, Tyson is only prevented from boxing in Nevada. But other states are expected to honor the ban. Tyson can reapply for his license as early as next year. Showtime has not had any contact with Tyson since the fight, Larkin said. And the network, realizing credibility is an issue, would not consider using him as an analyst until he shows he has gotten his life back on track. “Mike has a lot of accounting to do, a lot of healing to do. And I don’t think that throwing him in front of a camera would be the best thing right now,’’ Larkin said. ``...
