I had a cataract surgery a year ago and now I look forward to a second surgery to remove a giant spider-like "floater." I got an infected cornea, scaring, a quarter moon shadow on outer side of eye and 6 months of pain that kept me awake nights to the point wher I now continue that sleep disorder. A simple, "I'm so sorry" would have been nice, but he took no resposibility for anything. He blamed me for everything except his inability to diagnose Ocular Rosacea. Last but not least, my pain went away when he hired a second opthomologist, Dr Barret, who said I had Ocular Rosacea (not seen by Hollingshead or Dr Besecker [optomitrist in charge of my care.]) For 6 months I suffered and wore an eye patch when an antibiotic ointment would have mitigated that part of my failed cataract removal. I've had facial Rosacea pustules for 30 years and had no knowledge I had "dry eye" until my eyes turned pink after my initial visit. Next I had to spend $1,500+ in unanticipated medicine co-pays. Don't believe short, good reviews. I think they're "plants." I overheard others in the waiting room who had "this never happens" surgery results.
