Yes….I have had many terrible experiences. Too many to even list. It it sounds unbelievable, so I don’t mention it because people look at me like I’m crazy for having such bad luck so often.

Where was that specialist that fixed that guy’s Iris located? Do you know? I would travel to find someone that could fix my eyes if they had a great reputation. I would love to know what happened to that man whose Irish was damaged. I’m so beside myself every day with all these issues with my eyes that it’s really affecting me mentally to be honest. I’ve had such bad luck that I am very paranoid to even try though.

I hope that you get a second opinion soon, so it will relieve your mind. I know how these doctors can scare you because you don’t know whether to trust them or not. The best thing I can advise is also to trust your gut feelings as well. Every time I have went against my gut feelings I have regretted it. I actually went into cancel the hernia surgery because I did not feel right. I did not believe that dr. He came in and talked to me back into it and told me I was making a mistake if I canceled the surgery. On the LPI I also said no way am I going to do this if it has any chance of messing with my vision. I should’ve listened to my gut feeling because it cost me $40,000 out of my pocket to reverse that hernia surgery and I have scars and permanent damage from what he has done to me. My eyes will never be the same.

I hope that you will find a great glaucoma eye surgeon to at least consult with, so that they can tell you what is going on and if it can be helped. The patient who said his Iris was fixed by a Glaucoma Surgeon, was from Canada. I came across a video on Youtube since I was looking into Phacoemulsification / Clear Lens Exchange CLE as a possibility if not now, then maybe in the future if I need to do something. I found the video impressive. It was by a surgeon who now works in Canada, named Dr. Ike Ahmed. So I looked up more on him to get some patient reviews. Most were positive. I don't know this doctor or area, but you can see how a glaucoma surgeon may be able to help. The one I am seeing in 4 months is not a glaucoma specialist. Hopefully I won't need one, but if I do, I would probably go for a consult to Bascom Palmer Eye Institute-University of Miami Hospital

These are the ratings on him that I looked up: (The man with the damaged Iris is the 10th review down I think)
