Patient Reviews
Jul 19, 2022
Surgery went well. I needed a stich.. no prob. It'll dissolve. At appointments I mentioned a few items I had large floater - it'll go away I had watery eyes and bit scratchy (I have stitch, it'll dissolve) My last appt (11 weeks after 1st surgery) 1. Large floater - what do you want surgery? Well if that's what I need then yes. 2. Scratchy eye - oooh you still have a stitch in eye. Really 11 weeks later.. shouldn't it have dissolved. He then removed stitch. Tried to take it out by the way without any numbing drops 3. Eye lid drooping - what do you want surgery? Well I'm wondering if it will get any better? 4. Tooth paste fumes burn my eyes - well you have dry eye now I don't have dry eye. Once that stitch was removed no scratchy/watery eye or eye lid drooping. I also went to a retina specialist and had the floater removed... Which cured the headaches I was having. His bed side manner on last day was TERRIBLE. Had my money so felt like he no longer cared.
