INTERVIEW: Dr. Morris Waxler On The Dangers Of Lasik Eye Surgery And Why He Warns People Never To Get It. Monday, June 30th, 2025 | Sarah Fraser

In this episode of the Sarah Fraser Show, I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Morris Waxler, a former FDA doctor who was instrumental in the approval of LASIK eye surgery in the late 90s but now deeply regrets that decision. Dr. Waxler shared alarming insights about the serious complications that can arise from LASIK, including severe pain and even suicide, as seen in tragic cases like that of a young police officer named Ryan. We discussed the misleading statistics presented by the FDA regarding patient satisfaction and the lack of transparency from LASIK surgeons about the risks involved. Dr. Waxler's mission is to warn potential patients to think twice before undergoing this procedure, emphasizing the importance of informed consent and seeking evaluations from independent ophthalmologists.
