Are LASIK numbers declining across the board? Many seem to think so, including three surgeons who commented in this article.
They indicated that a number of factors may play into a decline in LASIK surgery numbers and share what they think can be done to revive the procedure. Manoj Motwani, MD, Motwani LASIK Institute, San Diego, thinks that LASIK numbers are way down.
“Before the recession, we were doing 1.4 million eyes annually in the United States,” he said. “For the past few years, it has been about 600,000, and it has not been increasing.”
