Well, another multi-million dollar settlement against a LASIK surgeon. This time it’s against an awarded TLC ophthalmologist.
TLC isn’t one of those Sunday comic laser centers. And I don’t think an eye doctor managing a pre-op LASIK patient would just miss a keratoconus problem since computer-assisted analyzation of cornea topographical maps helps catch almost all of those. And if a 9 page informed consent document, a video, and doctor counseling doesn’t count for anything, then maybe the only criteria is whether or not the individual likes their outcome.
Anyone for LASIK surgery?
