Sorry, but I find that a simple case of Lasik surgery being responsible for that kind of outbreak is a little far-fetched. Like my brother always used to say, "Even the sun shines on a dog's @!# every now and then."
Kotchman didn't have Lasik.
Kotchman had scar tissue and infections in the oil glands that put the layer of oil/tears on your eyes. The analogy they used was it what like having a dirty windshield wiper. The surgeries removed the scar tissue and cleared out the infections.
