DR. JOSEPH DELLO RUSSO

As many of you may be aware of, there is a lot of information about laser vision correction on the net. The great amount is also a problem since the internet is like the wild west of the 1800′s used to be. No law and no order. There are no controls on what can be put online.
There are indeed many useful sites with correct information. However, often these sites were established several years ago and are no longer as useful since advances have been made and the sites are not updated regularly.

There are other sites that are purely commercial. Sites that exist to generate income to somebody. Obviously a reader may not get unbiased info at these sites, which may be owned by venders, doctors, and laser centers. These sites do not only lack in the update department but may also be biased and not act as reliable sources.

Other sites exist to generate money to their owner by presenting negative, untrue misinformation. There are many ways of making money from such sites. You are the one who loses by getting misinformation, which may cause you to make unwise decisions about Laser Vision Correction for yourself.

Due to the fact that there are no controlling monitors for truth online, this site was established to act as a source of true information by unbiased and experienced sources, our editors. We will provide constant updates several times a week, if not every business day with useful information concerning the various aspects of Laser Vision Correction, filtered by our editorial staff.

Why would there be daily updates? Is there news every day? Frankly, no. But these daily reports will serve as an educational tool for keeping you informed, providing tips, news and updates. We will first start by presenting basic definitions, so that you will be clear on all the various topics as they are presented and we are all on the same page. We will next progress to the history of Laser Vision Correction, which is not only interesting but can help in understanding definitions and its current state. 

This site was a natural outgrowth of a long-existing Q & A site , known as http://www.lasikfaq.com/. Probably the most popular and longest lasting LASIK Q & A site online. Our editor in Chef is Joseph Dello Russo, MD., one of the true pioneers of Laser Vision Correction. In 1990, he joined with a half a dozen other surgeons to investigate and test out the Laser Vision Correction for the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). He has performed over the past 16 years in excess of 55,000 cases himself and has been a leader in implementing new technological improvements as they have come along.

The purpose of this site is not to promote Dr. Dello russo as your surgeon but to call upon him to help people with true and up to date information on his favorite subject, Laser Vision Correction. As some of you undoubtedly already know we do welcome your questions with some reservations. Most questions are best directed to http://www.lasikfaq.com/. They will definitely be answered by one of our editors, even personal questions at times, if appropriate. Questions to this site are only answered if they are of a nature to serve as an example for a general educational nature for all readers.
