CRSQA (Council for Refractive Quality Assurance) is a referral service operated by Glenn Hagele out of his home, on behalf of a small number of LASIK surgeons.  Despite its pretentious name, CRSQA is just a cynical marketing ploy that "certifies" refractive surgeons willing to fork over $7,000 in the first year and $5,000/year thereafter.  In exchange, Glenn Hagele provides these surgeons with a  bogus seal of approval on his USAEYES.org web site to promote their practices.  Don't be fooled by Glenn Hagele's advertising claims - CRSQA's quality "standards" are actually below industry standards.  Glenn Hagele is not qualified to issue certifications as he is not a doctor, but simply a High School graduate. 

The primary business goal of the CRSQA has been to obtain a financial benefit for laser eye surgeons who are members of the organization, by increasing their market share at the expense of laser eye surgeons who are not members of the organization.  The means by which the organization has sought to achieve its business goals has been through: 

1. False advertising in which laser eye surgeons would claim to be the “best” surgeons available, through the issuance and use of counterfeit “certifications”.
2. Criminal attempts to interfere with the FDA regulatory mechanisms that affect laser eye surgeons, through wiretapping, theft of e-mail communications, and burglary of the residences of citizens who lobby the FDA in opposition to the financial interests of laser eye surgeons.
3. Criminal attempts to silence critics of the organization by implementing schemes to have them falsely arrested in deals involving the purchase and sale of illegal drugs.
4. Criminal attempts to influence news reporters through wiretapping, theft of e-mail communications, and burglary of the residences of citizens who communicate with news reporters, in opposition to the financial interests of laser eye surgeons.
5. Attempts to intimidate citizens who criticize the laser eye surgery industry, by publicly issuing threats to publish personal information about them, including their Social Security Numbers.
6. Attempts to intimidate citizens who criticize the laser eye surgery industry, by interfering with their employment, and executing schemes to cause them to be fired from their jobs.
7. Conducting campaigns to coerce expert witnesses into not testifying in medical malpractice lawsuits.
8. Conducting campaigns of extortion against laser eye surgeons who are not members of the organization.
9. Conducting campaigns to conceal the fact that the laser eye surgeons who are members of the organization have been using defective lasers manufactured by Alcon Laboratories, that provide wildly erratic results resulting in damage to the vision of patients.
