    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    EIGHT YRS AGO, I HAD LASIK SURGERY ON BOTH OF MY EYES. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD BLURRED VISION. HEADACHES, EXTREMELY IMPAIRED NIGHT VISION AND DIZZINESS. THE DOCTOR WHO PERFORMED MY SURGERY WAS LET GO WHICH I LATER FOUND OUT WAS DUE TO HIS POOR RESULTS. I WAS MISINFORMED ON MANY LEVELS REGARDING THE OUTCOME AND EXPECTATION OF THIS PROCEDURE. I HAVE SINCE BEEN BACK TO THAT SAME PRACTICE WHERE I HAVE HAD 3 ADDITIONAL SURGERIES, AND IT HAS BEEN HIGHLY SUGGESTED BY THIS PRACTICE THAT I HAVE A 4TH. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON OTHER PHYSICIANS ONLY TO BE TOLD I AM STUCK LIKE THIS. I AM A MOTHER OF TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS RUINING MY LIFE! I WAS NOT A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THIS PROCEDURE AS I HAVE A LARGE PUPIL SIZE. I AM ANGRY, FRUSTRATED AND HELPLESS.
