People who are fed up with glasses or are tired of contacts sometimes turn to LASIK. It stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, which is the process of permanently adjusting the shape of a person's cornea to improve the focus of the eye.
While most patients who undergo LASIK do not experience problems, some suffer serious injuries from the surgery. These problems include double vision, night myopia, blurred vision, and even total loss of sight. Although these problems may be related to risk associated with the procedure, some are caused by surgical negligence.
If you or anyone you know has suffered problems after undergoing LASIK, contact the Washington medical malpractice attorneys of Fuller & Fuller at 800-570-4878.
