LASIK

Aajonus described laser eye surgery as a procedure that "unnaturally changes the shape of a weak or damaged cornea." He was explicit that this mechanical reshaping does not address or improve the poor eye health that caused the cornea to misshape originally. The cornea warps either by flattening or by extending, depending on whether the patient is near-sighted or far-sighted, and the surgery corrects that warp by cutting the tissue into a new configuration. Because the nutritional conditions that produced the warp are unchanged, those same conditions will continue operating after surgery.

On a very poor diet, he stated, the warped corneas will warp again within five years in ninety percent of cases. He also noted that in many cases the surgery can only be performed once in a lifetime, meaning a person on a poor diet who undergoes LASIK and experiences regression has spent thousands of dollars on a temporary correction and may have no surgical recourse afterward. He framed ophthalmology in this context as a system that profits from recurring visits, glasses, contact lenses, and repeat procedures, with no genuine incentive to give patients instructions on improving the actual health of the eyes before or after surgery.

The central claim Aajonus made about LASIK complications was that approximately ninety percent of people who have laser surgery experience difficulty, and that the difficulty is caused by the antibiotic eye drops routinely administered before and after the procedure, not by the surgery itself. His explanation was that antibiotics destroy the bacteria present in the eye, and the destruction of that bacterial population causes keloid tissue formation. The cornea then heals in a warped pattern rather than cleanly, which is precisely the outcome the surgery was meant to correct.

He was direct about his instruction to patients preparing for LASIK: do not take antibiotics and do not allow antibiotic drops to be placed in the eyes. His reasoning was that without the antibiotic disruption, the eye's natural bacterial environment can participate in normal healing and the tissue can close and regenerate properly.

Aajonus described the healing trajectory for LASIK patients eating well as dramatically faster than the conventional baseline. He said people on a good diet heal three times faster than average. He specified that eyes are completely healed and the patient can go out in the sun within ten days, which he framed as not a problem for someone on the diet avoiding antibiotics.

He cited two specific long-term cases as evidence of durable outcomes. A woman named Lisa, also referenced as Niki Ying, underwent the procedure in 1994 at approximately age 37. A man named Louis underwent it in 1989. Aajonus noted that as of his telling, their eyes were still in great condition and they no longer required glasses or contact lenses. These were among the first people he had recommended LASIK to, and he used them as evidence that the surgery, when combined with good diet and without antibiotics, could produce lasting correction rather than the regression seen in the general population.

For people who either could not or did not want to pursue LASIK, Aajonus described a long-term natural protocol for reworking the cornea using raw egg white and butter applied directly to the eye. He acknowledged that this process takes years. The egg white is applied in the morning and the butter at night. To apply egg white, a small amount is tapped onto the little finger, the lower eyelid is pulled down, the person looks up, and the egg white is rubbed along the white of the eye, then the eye is rolled around to distribute it across the entire surface. This takes approximately three minutes to absorb and causes about two minutes of mild fogginess. Egg white, being mostly protein, strengthens the eye against environmental stress during the day.

At night, a small dab of raw butter is melted in the palm and applied using the same method. Butter causes a longer period of blurred vision, approximately thirty minutes to an hour, so Aajonus recommended being already in bed before applying it. Butter works on the eye in a different way than egg white, acting in a cleansing and soothing capacity rather than a strengthening one. He specified that sheep's butter is slightly more effective than cow's butter for this purpose.

He also mentioned that a tiny bit of butter combined with a drop of pineapple juice can be used to assist in reworking the cornea, though he noted this approach takes years of consistent application.

He described his own experience as illustrative of what the eye can achieve without surgery. After the acid from a dissolving tumor burned his cornea and left him with eight layers of scar tissue, rendering him blind in that eye, an optometrist told him a cornea transplant was the only possibility. Seven years later, using egg white in the morning and butter at night, he was able to pass a driver's vision test with that eye, and when he returned to the optometrist she found only one layer of scar tissue remaining.

Aajonus placed his discussion of LASIK within his broader position that all medical equipment is designed to alter body function temporarily without improving health. He drew an explicit parallel between LASIK and the general model of medical technology, which he described as built around the concept of treating symptoms without correcting causes, ensuring continued consumption of medical services. He noted that there are no effective instructions given to patients on how to improve eye health before or after laser surgery, and that this absence is structural rather than accidental. Ophthalmologists who do not help patients improve eye health will continue to see those patients for glasses, contacts, repeat examinations, and potentially repeat surgeries.
