Dr. Agarwal Eye Hospital — Lasik surgery failure and Careless process !!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have myopia eye power of -3 on both eyes and I'm contact user for more than 5 years and I was suggested for LASIK by doctors in your branch and I have made my decision for proceeding with LASIK.

[protected] : I Went for full inspection pre Lasik with includes Blood tests, Eye pressure, Refractions, Pentacam and one more specific test which i don't know as they didn't mention the name and said I have a scar in left eye and for that we need to take a test and after that we can proceed for LASIK, later all test completed and they informed we can proceed for LASIK as all tests are fine and no issues will come and I also asked whether the scar will create issues while LASIK and Dr. Ramya was the person taking care of my full consultation and operation.

Dr. Ramya finally after inspecting my eye said you can proceed for LASIK as this scar won't disturb LASIK and there will be a slight difference in quality.

Further myself and my father had a discussion with counselor Mr. Bala and he also said all tests went well and no issues will be faced during and post LASIK other than slight quality/clarity difference in left eye due to scar.

[protected] : Operation day !!

Like before all test and pre Lasik procedure taken care and all went well and went to operation theatre.

Dr. Ramya's last patient on that day as they said.

Note: Vision and very good pre Lasik and while wearing specs no issues with clarity and during refraction also power stabled and all is fine.

During operation Dr. Ramya was performing LASIK procedure for right eye and completed very soon and next to left eye she was delayed than right eye may be due to unidentified scar and also speaking continuously that tell that refraction person to do procedure correctly or she won't allow inside lab like that.

Eye minutes later Dr. Ramya said operation went well and said to come next day for consultation.

[protected] : Meet Dr. Ramya and she said vision restored very well and said to continue drops as per prescription.

[protected] : After few days of LASIK I understand my left eye vision is not fully recovered. I can feel the quality difference as informed earlier and surprisingly I can observe vision difference and vision not fully recovered, I feel letters and objects in shattered way and I can't focus anything like right eye..

Note: all tablets and drops taken as per prescription and I was fully in home till today after LASIK due to recovery hope.

Later in upcoming consultation with Dr. Ramya, I used to inform always that I feel the shattered vision and blurry vision in left eye and right eye is good.

But she always referring that due to scar your vision will be like this only and we have already informed and can't do anything now.

I don't understand why you guys being Dr. and playing in life like this..

I request you to be careful in all process of LASIK and befor and during operation.

I feel bad for taking LASIK with your hospital and i have wasted my money, time and left eye vision due to carelessness and lethargic.

Thanks for making my good vision into a bad Vision now.

With reference to our earlier mail, This is to inform you that I got a call from Ms. Sri Vidhya and rescheduled an appointment with the Chief doctor Dr. Susan, Further I had a consultation and conversation with whole team after few re-scans and retests, I understand their us no solution to my issues as the chief doctor says you eye looks normal for her and I feel the same from inside,

Further more scans/consultation completed on the same day[protected] and finally to benefits to myself as my vision is still same from the beginning (Left eye is dull and cloudy when compared to right eye) and again doctor Susan gave few more drops in addition to earlier drops and said me to continue for 15 days and come back for consultation.

I started using those drops and i can feel slight changes in left eye but still issue remains.

As informed earlier by doctor Susan I came back for an appointment on 2nd December and paid consultation fees (I don't how many consultation fee I have to pay further) already spend 1.2 L for surgery and in addition medicine and drops on daily routine as drops are too costly.. I was informed I will be using one drops from 2nd to 3rd month and after that no expenses but till now I'm using drops on daily basis around 3 different types of drops which is not acceptable.

After consultation with Dr. Susan, I understand again their is no hope for vision recovery as they are repeatedly saying vision is dull due to a scar in left eye but i don't know why they didn't Inform anything before surgery.

So it's a total loss of money, time and most important in our life is vision and I lost that too with Dr. Agarwal.

Till now as on today (19-Dec-2021) my left vision is blurry/cloudy and vision not clear and both eyes I can't see the light properly as it's fully shattered and shaky.

I really thank Dr. Agarwal for losing my vision which was good before surgery and now I'm frustrated after so many consultation and conversation..

With references to the earlier post I’m updating the present status !!

My vision is getting more blur on left eye and my eye vision also getting glare most of the times

I’m not able to view traffic lights and other lights clearly!! It’s fully blur and shaky!!

I had consultation with Dr. Susan before 02 months and she said to come for consultation after 02 months I.e Feb 1st week but till now hospitals is not following with me for consultation!! They don’t even care if I come or not and also don’t care about my vision coz they collect money for operation and next 4 to 5 consultations!!

I’m following with hospital reception for appointments but they are not providing any confirmation!! They are simply postponing the date and please be informed my drops are finished and I don’t know whether I should continue or discontinue and I don’t aware !!

Fully frustrated with your service and I don’t know how you people are sitting idle without even responding to the emergency and not even worried about patients requirements !!

Finally I lost my money, time and living with an blurry vision!!

I should have not undergone the lasik and better used specs or contacts lens and saved my vison and money !!

Worst experience with Agarwal !!
