Refractive surgery group calls for CDC to retract keratitis report

The Refractive Surgery Alliance has formally demanded that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention retract a November report that linked close to 1 million office visits each year to poor contact lens care, which it believes creates a false understanding of the risks of contact lenses.The CDC report was published in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and was based on an analysis of billing data, according to a press release from the Refractive Surgery Alliance (RSA).
