They are a support organization for people with vision loss due to eye-surgery. I did alot of research there before my surgery. I concluded for myself that LASIK was too risky. The risk of complications was too high to seriously consider. Instead I opted for PRK. The downside is it's painful, there is a longer time until your ideal prescription comes into effect (3-6 months) and most people will only do one eye at a time with a 1 month break in between.
Happy to say it was the best money I ever spent though.
