Overserviced by preforming laser treatment not required & damaged my left eye.
My first appointment was with a junior doctor, who joined the practice at the beginning of January 2021, on 18 February 2021. I had no problems with my eyes but needed an eye test for the renewal of my driver’s license. I decided to consult an Ophthalmologist instead of an optician because thus I will have my annual check-up at the same time. He did a dilated eye examination & said that there was no problem with both my eyes & I can go. As I was leaving & down the passage, the junior doctor asked if I was diabetic. I found this strange as I had noted this ailment in their medical questionnaire. I answered yes & he said that he needed to do further tests. Note that, once dilated examination showed no problems there is no need to do any further tests. This the senior doctor from their practice & two other doctors have confirmed. I waited about 45 minutes & told the lady who was my consultant that I have to leave & make an appointment for another day. She said that they had the authorization, held my hand & took me to the scanning machine. After the scans were done junior doctor produced scans prints of both of my eyes. He said that both my eyes had blood clots at the back, but the left one was worse & needed immediate laser treatment whilst my right eye must be done in two weeks. He showed me prints of two scans with dark lines. My current doctor showed me scans on 02 April 2024 similar to that which the junior doctor showed me. I asked what the dark lines were. He said that they were the blood vessels. I asked if that was a problem. He said that they were normal & there was no problems. Only then I realized that the junior doctor either misdiagnosed or misled me that my eyes had blood clots / Diabetic Retinopathy. I consulted a senior doctor of the practice on 29 March 2021.I explained to the senior doctor the problems & that my left eyeball sometimes gets very sore. After the examination said that there was no problem with my eyes, but I should come back after two months for a further check-up with the junior doctor. The senior doctor, a former senior partner of the practice, who now has his own practice, says in his recent email to me that when I consulted him on 26 March 2021 there were no scans in the file. This despite the junior doctor showing prints of the scans. He confirmed that I did not have Diabetic Retinopathy in both my eyes when I consulted him on 26 March 2021.
The junior doctor has damaged my left eye. Both the practice & the junior doctor refuse to be held accountable for the damage to my left eye. The practice insist that I must get my attorney to contact them.
