Dr. Neal Sher Donates Refractive Procedures to Iraq War Troops
In an interview with Dr. Carlos Buznego, Dr. Neal Sher tells of his experiences providing pro bono refractive procedures to local National Guardsman and Army Reserves prior to their being deployed to active duty in the Iraq war. Providing these vision correction procedures has been particularly rewarding because, in many cases, it has contributed to the survival of combat troops, especially in night-time skirmishes Dr. Sher then describes his research documenting that the electrical field resulting from the operation of a variety of laser systems (SLT, VISX S4, argon, and YAG) does not interfere with several models of Medtronic pacemakers (ICDs, CRTs).
