In 2000, the dr. who diagnosed the retinal bleed (unknown cause) sent me to a retinal specialust in Canton Oh. for emergency laser treatment. That dr. Gave me a numbing shot that left me with a black eye that didn't heal for over 2 months. And something happened so that I was left with not-quite double vision that lasted for 4 years. Both drs. told me I didn't have a vision problem. The local dr. had the balls to say that they saved my vision and I should be grateful. I ended up finding out about Ohio's Low Vision Center in Columbus on my own and going there. An angel dr. there diagnosed my problem and prescribed lenses with prisms which corrected the vision problem. I was depressed the whole time my vision was skewed. One day, I felt a twang under my eye, and darned if the vision problem resolved. And within days, I was no longer deprsssed. I saw the dr. who diagnosed me initially and he said (again) that I have no vision problem. I stayed with him on dpite of the assery because I thought gaving the same specialist would give me some protection. I was way off. Thank you for your informative comments. I might consult a lawyer. Not sure yet.
