Posted to Blurred vision for Lasik Enhancement. Doctor was a "No-Show" for 1 week Post-surgical Follow-up. - Littleton, CO on 28 Dec 2011

@heatherlawson, I did do my research. Dr. Spivack, who performed the initial surgery, was voted one of the best lasik surgeons in the metro Denver area, but I never knew that he did not perform his own follow-up exams. Regarding the cost, I had already paid around $4,000 for the initial lasik surgery on both eyes. This was a 2nd surgery on my dominant eye, that was not at 20/20 as promised. It was an enhancement surgery and I elected to pay the extra money for a newly enhanced laser monitor. Usually, an enhancement surgery is free if they cannot get you to 20/20 the first time, so I paid even more than I should have. I am very upset about having permanent damage done to my dominant eye, due to poor follow-up procedures and advice.
Posted to Did you have any Lasik complications like halos or hazing? on 18 Sep 2011

Yes, I have hazing in my left eye after lasik enhancement. The doctors seem to take no responsibility for this even though it is not present in the non-enhanced eye. Restasis, plugs, and dry eye drops help a bit, but since it has been almost 3 years since the enhancement, I fear it is permanent. This is horrible because this is my dominant eye for distance vision. Anyone else with these issues after an enhancement procedure?
