The first question generally asked by anyone considering laser eye surgery is, ‘
Can you go blind from having laser eye surgery?'
A few months ago Claire Mondor agreed to record an account of her laser surgery story for OERML.
It was a painful process, and Claire made a number of attempts before managing to do so.
It was also incredibly brave, and I am indebted to Claire for making such a valuable contribution to publicising the very real and horrific risks of refractive eye surgery.
No matter where the clinic, or who the surgeon, this is a global scandal that must be addressed by all governments!

• 2014: Claire Mondor had lasik eye surgery at Lasik MD Vision in Winnipeg Manitoba.
• Dr Desikan Kadambi was the operating surgeon. • Dr Gdih Gdih was the second operating surgeon.
• January 2017: Claire had her left eye removed at the aptly named Misericordia hospital in Alberta. The cost was covered by health care insurance.
• March 2017: Claire had a prosthetic eye made, cost $2,000 CAD (approx £1,245)
The cost was not covered by health insurance, so to add insult to VERY SERIOUS injury, Claire had to pay for this herself!
• The prosthetic eye will need replacing after 5 years.
• Dr Desikan Kadambi now owns Eye Tech Lasik...

'
My mother went to him in Brandon and lost sight on her right eye after he [Desikan Kadambi] did laser surgery on her eye. There is no way to really remove a doctor in this country and they can get away with anything. The College protects doctors not patients.' [Just like the UK’s Royal College and GMC]
