LasikMD Ruined My Eyes Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Had Lasik Surgery 1 yr ago through LasikMD - Wore Glasses 50% of the time before surgery with no eye issues - seems like I've ended up with almost all of the possible side effects they list in their patient informed consent form plus a number of extras - after surgery here's a list of my problems:

-20/20 vision does not mean better vision, takes much longer to focus now, visual acuity far less than before surgery, night vision problems, contrast sensitivity far less, starburst

-claim that complication rates are only 1-5 percent however I've found out that many studies find that over 50% of patients claim to have some type of problem after surgery

-constant dry eye pain

-can hardly sleep because of eye pain

-fell into a major depression after my Lasik surgery due to numerous issues

-don't blink often enough

-right eye is always strained and puffy

-no more social life, can't stand the eye pain when out at social gatherings

-missed numerous days of work due to unbearable eye pain

-large psychologist bill

-large bill for the vitamins and other supplements needed to control my dry eye symptoms, although its hard to control

-can no longer play contact sports because the corneal flap created during the operation may be disslodged giving me even worse vision

-almost incapable of functioning on any type of usefull manner at work

-constant headaches and eye strain

feeling terrible about my lasik decision,

lasik sucks
