Lasik

Question: Lasik, is my doctor lying to me?

(Posted by: on 2010-03-06 10:43:08)

I'm so incredibly upset. I had lasik 5 days ago. My right eye was great within a few hours, my left eye had to be redone because of a wrinkled flap. My doctor put a bandage contact on for two days and took it off yesterday but my vision is still horrible in my left eye. Everytime I try to ask a question he just tells me it'll "sort itself out " and I am sick and f*cking tired of hearing that. I've never heard of anyone's eyes taking longer than 24 hours to become clear. Why is my left eye still so bad? Is he just placating me or is there really a chance that my eye is going to correct itself anytime soon? I've never heard of this happening, either your eyesight is good after 24 hours, or you need another procedure. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me if it really is possible!

I agree with you. Something is wrong and you need to demand that he tell you why the vision in your left eye has not cleared up. If you still don't get a satisfactory response, get a second doctor to look at it and give you his diagnosis as to what's wrong.

It's possible. maybe you should see another doctor because of that.

There have been rare examples of doctors misleading patients. also surgery is never 100% guaranteed. Any good doctor would explain that. But im not the doctor in charge of you and im not even a laser eye surgeon so i cant comment on your case I would assume though that a surgeon is happy to get a 2nd opinion if he needs one

If its very traumatizing for you. Please spend the money to get a second opinion on it can get it solve before its too late. 5 days might be abit premature but its never too early to get something done. Sometimes, its good to get another doctor out of town that doesn't have any relationship with your current doctor so he won't be bias. For more videos and info on Lasik. Go to: lasiksg.com
