LASIK surgery can be a great option for people who don't want to use contact lenses or glasses. Even though it seems like a common procedure, the FDA is making sure people know it's not for everyone.
"It is a really good option for a lot of patients," said Dr. Bishoy Said, an ophthalmologist at Sharp Rees-Stealy."That doesn't mean it's a great option for all patients." Dr. Said said some people are not meant to go under the laser, like people with prescriptions that change from month to month. That's because of how the surgery works.
"You're using a laser machine to shape the cornea," said Dr. Said."If you're still having changes, it's only going to work for a short amount of time because it's going to change."

When people don’t get along with their leaders, they tend to retaliate against them and the organization. But what about when people feel ambivalent or conflicted about their leaders? Researchers surveyed 952 workers and students to explore the effects of having an ambivalent relationship with one’s leader. Across three studies, they found that employees who rated their relationship with their leader as highly ambivalent performed worse in their jobs (as rated by their leader) than those who rated the relationship as low in ambivalence. This effect held even when employees rated their relationship as positive overall.
