Now we have a "duty" to get astigmatism down to less than 1/2 a diopter after surgery .... oooh....and with minimal capital investment. Sorry but you guys must practice on a different planet than I. You really need to be careful about setting standards for your colleagues. We are not all refractive surgeons and cornea specialists who deal with people that have a lot of money.
