Having been a refractive surgeon for 30 years and having performed over 30,000 procedures in that period of time, after getting my medical degree from Columbia Medical School, completing my residency at Harvard's Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and my Corneal Transplantation/Refractive Surgery Fellowship at Emory, I have enough experience to say that we refractive surgeons are doing a horrible job about explaining why people shouldn't be wearing glasses and contacts anymore.
