>>9508363Dr. Gholam A. Peyman invented the laser and treatment for laser eye surgery in the 1970s, in 1989, he was awarded the first patent in the United States for LASIK, it wasn't approved for use on human patients in the USA until 1995.
He's Iranian by the way, came to the USA in the late 70's with the fall of the Shah of Iran. So this is someone on twitter using a person of color to steal another person of color's work apparently.
FYI: picture is him with Obama getting an award for this very invention.
