    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    I AM REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH MY LASIK SURGERY. I WAS TOLD BY THE DOCTOR THAT LASIK HAD A PERMANENT EFFECT. THAT WAS NOT TRUE IN MY SITUATION, I HAD MONOVISION AND HAD A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN THE VISION OF BOTH EYES 5 YEARS AFTER MY SURGERY. THE DOCTOR STILL HAS INFO ON HIS WEB SITE THAT THE PROCEDURE IS PERMANENT. I ENDED UP HAVING THE PROCEDURE DONE AGAIN AT GREAT EXPENSE. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TWICE IN THE BEGINNING IF I HAD KNOWN THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF IT NOT BEING PERMANENT.
