FDA Wants More Comment on Lasik Outcomes, Data

Industry and other stakeholders will have another year to comment on side effects and safety issues related to Lasik devices. The FDA announced that it is reopening a public docket through Nov. 15, 2010, to get more information on the devices and Lasik surgery. The notice gives no reason for the extension other than that the agency wants to continue to receive comments to help it identify ways to improve its public outreach efforts regarding the safety and effectiveness of Lasik.
