The Worst Mistake of my Life

  • Not Worth It
  • Cost: $4,000
  • Dr. Kadambi (Winnipeg, Manitoba)

It's now almost 3 months since my PRK surgery....

It's now almost 3 months since my PRK surgery. I have had significant visual loose, this greatly accentuated at night. My eyes constantly feel pain. Post surgery I was told I was an ideal candidate for the procedure. When I asked about risks, my doctor replied there's only temporary risks during the first three month after that they all go away. Only now I know it was too good to be true.

Great review?

Dr. Kadambi and his staff seem vary helpful initially. However beware they will lie to secure a sale.

PRK usually takes longer time to heal and more discomfort, which should have been told before your surgery. 3 mons might be a little too soon for some patients. would like to learn what will happen later.

My surgeon recommended I cease the use of artificial tears drops. I have also been proscribed Tobradex. On the same day, a different doctor, rushed me in to see a corneal specialist that afternoon. Although a punctal plug has failed to resolve the issue, I appreciate the specialist's continuing effort.

I'm glad to hear you have seen a speicialist. Have they said if there are other things that could be done to help?

I'm so sorry to hear about what you are dealing with. Has your doctor offered any options to help correct the problems?
