Within the last 14 months, I've had cataract surgery on both eyes, laser surgery on both eyes to clear up scar tissue from the cataract surgery, and I've spent almost $1,000 on eyeglasses.
Right now I'm having problems with my vision that I never had before the cataract surgery. In fact, I'm convinced I never needed it in the first place. I've wished to God many times over that I'd gotten a second opinion on the cataract surgery. I suspect the optometrist in Lincoln who said I needed it was more interested in the kickback he got from the surgeon. The medical profession tries to legitimize a kickback by calling it a "referral fee", but it's still a kickback however you look at it. And the place that did the surgery is nothing more than an assembly line. It's exasperating because my wife had cataract surgery at the same place 5 years ago with excellent results. But, she definitely needed the surgery and a different surgeon did the operation.
I'm preparing a formal complaint to the Nebraska Medical Licensing Board to try to force the optometrist to provide documentary proof that I actually needed the surgery. But, the medical profession is not known for disciplining their own.
Meanwhile, on my own initiative I've found an ophthalmologist in Hastings, NE, 80 miles west of me, who is highly recommended and who has absolutely no connection with the eye care people in Lincoln. He's doing what he can to get my eyesight back to where it should be. I have an appointment with him again this coming Saturday.
Everyone told me how great my eyesight would be after the cataract surgery, and instead it went the other way. Right now I'm wearing the glasses I wore two years ago.
Didn't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm frustrated.
