Cataract removal gone bad

by S
(Michigan)

This surgery gone bad sounds like what happened to my husband's right eye. Just by how you describe the whole experience sounds like the same place my husband went to. The cataract surgeon my husband went to was highly recommended by his long time eye doctor.

Because my husband can't see out of his right eye, he was told today that next week he will be going for a second procedure to cut some slits in his eye. The surgeon said she can't see because after the removal of the cataract because of the astigmatism shape of the eye and the lens might have turned. If this does not work he has to go back in 3 months for a more complicated procedure. This has been going on since April 6 and we would really like to get back to our lives. Very disappointed.
