Performed by the right surgeon on a properly screened patient, LASIK can be a very beneficial procedure, allowing many people to see clearly without the assistance of glasses or contacts lenses ... something they could only dream of a few short years ago. However, as LASIK surgery has now become a billion dollar industry, far too many LASIK procedures are being performed by surgeons who are driven by greed, not patient care, resulting in LASIK surgery being done negligently or on someone who is not a proper candidate. This website is intended to serve as a Resource for those or their loved ones who are victims of LASIK surgery negligence. We invite you to explore the various pages which provide relevant information, articles, and informative links on LASIK surgery negligence.

If you have
Keratoconus or inferior thinning of
your cornea, do not have LASIK surgery!
LASIK is contraindicated on a person who has Keratoconus or corneal
thinning. Unfortunately, some LASIK
surgeons have disregarded pre-operative screening tests which are done to
determine if the patient has Keratoconus. If a surgeon performs LASIK on an
eye with Keratoconus, the cornea may be thinned excessively and begin to
bulge forward. A corneal transplant will likely be necessary. The Buckingham
Law Firm is handling a number of such cases where the LASIK surgeon
disregarded obvious signs of Keratoconus pre-operatively and then proceeded to
perform LASIK surgery with tragic results. Don't be the next one. ASK
YOUR SURGEON TO MAKE SURE YOU SHOW NO SIGNS OF CORNEAL THINNING OR KERATOCONUS
BEFORE SURGERY IS CONSIDERED.SPONSORED BY
