sustain the same damage. >> reporter: are these life-long effects on your lungs? >> we're looking at the tip of the iceberg. we don't really understand the magnitude, but as physician, as health care providers, we feel that we have a tsunami coming, and we need to prevent it from hurting our people. >> reporter: dean reynolds, detroit, michigan. 20 million americans have undergone lasce underl gone lasi keye surgery. most swear by it. then there are few who swear it ruined their lives. >> reporter: lasik advertises a way to fix their vision. the quick, minimally invasive surgery uses a lacer to cut a flap to rereshape the cornea at the front of the eye. while surveys show high patient satisfaction, those who have had bad experiences report painful life-changing complications. and now an expert who once

eyes. >> how you feeling? >> perfect. >> reporter: since 1998, an estimated 20 million lasik procedures have been performed. and according to an fda patient survey, more than 95% of their vision after surgery. still, the fda's own website is filled with stories of serious complications. patients report relentless eydi retinas, and tell the agency lasik ended my life and this procedure needs to stop. >> essentially, we ignored the data on vision distortions that persisted for years. >> reporter: morris waxler is a retired fda adviser who voted to approve lasik. he now says that vote was a mistake. >> if we examine the documentation, and i said wow, this is not good. >> reporter: waxler says his own analysis of industry data shows complication rates between 10 and 30%. in 2011, he petitioned the fda to issue a voluntary recall of

lasik. three years later, the agency denied that request, and now tells cbs news it, quote, has not found any new safety concerns associated with lasik devices. do you think this should be taken off the market? >> absolutely. there is nothing wrong with a person's eyes who goes to get lasik. they could go and get a pair of glasses. >> you can see that light is going to get sharper and sharper. >> reporter: doctors who perform lasik surgery say risks can be minute niced with presurgical screening. >> the most important thing is to know who to operate on and who not to operate on. and there are people who really should not have this procedure. >> reporter: abraham rutner now believes he was never a good candidate. >> and i was blaming myself. why in the world go io it? >> reporter: rutner estimates his vision is now about 90% improved. he tolerates the discomfort of hard contact lenses but wishes he had known more before he had

co-star in a new film called "finding jack." another actor will provide the character's voice and body. reactions to the announcements haven't exactly been positive. >> it seems like actors in particular are not too enthused with the idea that is now dawning on them, that after they pass away, they may be brought back to play roles they might not have otherwise agreed to do. >> reporter: it's not the first time filmmakers have tried to bring a dead actor to life on screen. in 1955, bella lugosi died before finishing ed wood's infamous "plan nine from outer space." other actors finished his scenes hidden by a cape. oliver reed died of a heart attack while filming in malt. at the director ready live scott brought in a body double and a cti team to create a mask of his
