Geneticist Ricki Lewis, author of a pgEd favorite, “The Forever Fix“, as well as many genetics textbooks and scientific papers, recently posted about a new genetic test to illuminate the possibility of cornea damage, including blindness, as an outcome after corrective LASIK surgery. Her post explains what the condition is, the genetics behind it, and looks at what it could mean for patients and families.
