"It is common knowledge that the biomechanical stability of connective tissue changes during pregnancy, leading to reduced stiffness and increased extensibility. These changes are most probably hormone-induced and, therefore, corneal biomechanics also may change during pregnancy. " "Pregnancy may stimulate progression of corneal keratectasia years after LASIK. This risk should be included in the benefit-risk analysis prior to LASIK in borderline cases."

Note: Expert Medical Witness George Waring Revoked of Case!

Instead, plaintiff argued that defendants sought to fire Dr. Waring because of his unsuitable history as an expert, including his consensual settlement in a hyperopic ectasia malpractice lawsuit filed against him; suspension of privileges from Emory University Eye Center for implanting a surgical device without the patient’s consent; and a criminal conviction for assaulting a flight attendant.http://www.krounerlaw.com/minnesota-court-refused-to-dismiss-claims-of-malpractice-against-lasik-surgeon/

The condition has been attributed to either loss of tear stimulation due to the cutting of corneal nerves or to trauma-induced inhibition of hormonal feedback signals between the ocular surface and tear glands..."http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/4/prweb9367806.htm
April 2012: Journal of Refractive Surgery Reports: "Pregnancy may trigger late onset of keratectasia after LASIK:"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22496434 . http://www.healio.com/ophthalmology/journals/JRS/%7B96C9B52F-5229-4A88-8D5A-79C85AAAA3A1%7D/Pregnancy-May-Trigger-Late-Onset-of-Keratectasia-After-LASIK . "It is common knowledge that the biomechanical stability of connective tissue changes during pregnancy, leading to reduced stiffness and increased extensibility. These changes are most probably hormone-induced and, therefore, corneal biomechanics also may change during pregnancy. " "Pregnancy may stimulate progression of corneal keratectasia years after LASIK. This risk should be included in the benefit-risk analysis prior to LASIK in borderline cases."

Note: Expert Medical Witness George Waring Revoked of Case! In a related motion, defendants’ counsel sought to discharge and replace defense expert George Waring, M.D., as “incompetent,” as a result of “issues with his memory.” Plaintiff opposed the motion, noting that Dr. Waring continues to treat patients, and no medical affidavit was offered to support Dr. Lobanoff’s claim that his own expert was incompetent. Instead, plaintiff argued that defendants sought to fire Dr. Waring because of his unsuitable history as an expert, including his consensual settlement in a hyperopic ectasia malpractice lawsuit filed against him; suspension of privileges from Emory University Eye Center for implanting a surgical device without the patient’s consent; and a criminal conviction for assaulting a flight attendant.http://www.krounerlaw.com/minnesota-court-refused-to-dismiss-claims-of-malpractice-against-lasik-surgeon/

May 10th, 2010: Ex Chief of Medical Devices, Mr. Morris Waxler, PHD Warns "I am Morris Waxler, PHD, former FDA official in charge of approving laser vision correction (LASIK) devices between 1996-2000. Thanks to pointed questioning by LASIK-injured patients, I have re-examined the data FDA used to approve LASIK devices as well as the data from subsequent scientific studies and now conclude that LASIK-induced risks of permanent loss of vision overwhelm the temporary benefit of visual acuity improvement. Please warn members of your organization that LASIK causes:
* The cornea to thin and bulge (keratectasia).
*At least 15-30% risk of complications including permanent eye pain, glare, halos, dry eyes, night vision and other problems.
*Only a 60% chance of temporary reduction in dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

May 10th, 2010: Ex Chief of Medical Devices, Mr. Morris Waxler, PHD Warns "I am Morris Waxler, PHD, former FDA official in charge of approving laser vision correction (LASIK) devices between 1996-2000. Thanks to pointed questioning by LASIK-injured patients, I have re-examined the data FDA used to approve LASIK devices as well as the data from subsequent scientific studies and now conclude that LASIK-induced risks of permanent loss of vision overwhelm the temporary benefit of visual acuity improvement. Please warn members of your organization that LASIK causes:
* The cornea to thin and bulge (keratectasia).
*At least 15-30% risk of complications including permanent eye pain, glare, halos, dry eyes, night vision and other problems.
*Only a 60% chance of temporary reduction in dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
