Bad Experience With Lasik Surgery
Pamela Ware, just like any person seeking to get rid of glasses and contacts, wanted to get LASIK Surgery. Pamela made an appointment with Dr. James Boop in November of 2001. Two weeks later, she was getting LASIK Surgery. But immediately after surgery her vision turned blurry in both eyes. Ware had a follow-up surgery, but it did not correct the problem. She even had a corneal transplant that still could not fix her problem.
She claims the condition of her cornea was not ideal at the time of her surgery. She should have never had the surgery. She claimed in her lawsuit, Dr. Boop failed to tell her that.
A jury awarded her $944,420. Boop's attorney is considering filing an appeal of the verdict.
Pamela says she still can't see that well. Everything is still blurry, but while she's seeing a Houston specialist about another corneal transplant, she wants other patients to learn from her experience.
Do your research, get more than one opinion, these are your only two eyes you have be very careful with them, says Pamela.
According to guidelines recently released by the Eye Surgery Education Council, fewer than 1% of patients who have received LASIK to date have experienced serious, vision-threatening problems.
