Yesterday I requested my medical records from my eye dr's office. She said the dr. had to sign off

11. She is with Emory Eye Center. Their website says she is the Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology &

Section of Comprehensive Ophthalmology with clinical areas of interest in Cataract and laser surgery;
Ophthalmic manifestations of systemic disease, including dry eye syndrome.

With her area of speciality she should be able to determine if the problem is solely from dry eyes as the first doctor said. She thinks the problem is partly from dry eye but also from astigmatism that was not corrected with the cataract surgery. I told her I thought the lenses put in did correct for the astigmatism since I specifically remember telling the cataract scheduler that 'sells' the lenses, that based on my research, I wanted the Toric IOL lenses.

When I first went back to the doctor after the surgery I told him I still wasn't seeing well, was still seeing starbursts and the halos were worse than I expected he said I needed the YAG capsulotomy which I had done.

I asked the new doctor what the treatment is since I had the YAG and she was very vague, and said something like 'we don't like to do that.'

Anyway, I'm wondering if the doctor that did the surgery is going through my records with a fine tooth comb, deleting anything that would indicate the wrong lenses were used, a misdiagnosis or an error on his part before releasing them.

I don't know what recourse I have at this point. I don't want to go back to the doctor that did the surgery but I may be looking at thousands of dollars for any possible treatment if there even is one.

Emory is a very large outfit so I have no doubt she will send me to another specialist if needed.

I never in a million years thought I would need cataract surgery at 53. The whole reason for having the cataract surgery was because of my night vision and now it's worse.
