After having cataract surgery in both eyes over 6 months ago, and going from 20/20 vision to the present 20/70 I highly recommend getting a second opinion when an eye doctor recommends cataract surgery. I truly believe that my surgery was unnecessary and was only performed because I am on Medicare. My Opthamologist double and triple billed my Medicare insurance company for items he had made me pay out of pocket for. Even after having laser surgery done to clear up the post surgery massive scarring, I still have days where I feel like I’m looking through a foggy window. What I would give to go back in time and refuse the surgery. As patients we tend to trust our medical professionals more than they deserve to be trusted. From now on I will go for second opinions, even third ones before I let another unscrupulous and greedy physician mislead me into surgery. My eyesight that had allowed me to enjoy my drawing, crafting and reading passions in life has been stolen from me due to my botched and most likely unnecessary cataract surgery. I welcome any recommendations on how I can regain my wonderful sight back!
