Research Question

  1. Reflection
    -- How did the group come up with the problem statement?
    -- What did you do well? e.g. difficulties faced and were overcome, how you overcome them
    -- What did you not do well? e.g. difficulties that have yet to overcome due to some barriers
    -- What you intend to do?

Problem Statement: What are the risks of lasik?

We thought that it would be good to research on the dangers of Lasik as not many people know the procedure well.

We had problems trying to create the mindmap as it needed a lot of details thus we just had to split the work up. However, we were able to collate everything and the mindmap was understandable.

We think our group had a hazy out view of the whole project because there are plenty of risks involved in Lasik.

We intend to find out about how the Lasik treatment will affect the person’s eyes and even health and whether a Lasik procedure is worth it, both to the person’s well-being and money.

  1. The problem statement is unacceptable. Is it enough to look at the risks of Lasik? What about the education of the consumers? Should the proposed centre be just a provider of Lasik procedures or one that provides proper eye education for the general public? Ultimately, it is not just provision of Lasik right?

    What about the perspective of the general public? How do they care for their eyes? Is there a sense of complacency and ignorance? How do people view Lasik? Are they well informed about how the procedure is like, the potential benefits and risks, what happens about the procedure (both good and bad)? And with this, it would also mean another area to look into is the current technologies available for Lasik procedures.

    You need to refine your problem statement and post another one. As mentioned before, a good problem statement will help you to focus on specific areas in the project, so that you do not deviate too far off as the project progresses.
