Is LASIK Safe? Eye Surgeon Reveals Hidden Risks | Dr. Cynthia MacKay, MD

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · Jun 17, 2025 · 47m

LASIK seemed like a miracle—until it started ruining lives. Chronic pain, vision loss, even suicide… and the FDA stays silent 👁️

Today, I’m joined by Dr. Cynthia MacKay, a Columbia eye surgeon whose colleague invented LASIK. She’s been warning people for years—and now she’s exposing the truth in her book The Unsightly Truth and doc Broken Eyes.

I had LASIK 10 years ago… and after this convo, I’m not sure it went as well as I thought. 👀
