"It hurt so bad, I thought I was going to die," Fields says, emphasizing the pain and trauma she experienced during her LASIK procedure and the lingering effects that followed.
The FDA drafted guidance in 2022 encouraging doctors to review all the potential LASIK mishaps—from issues with seeing in dim lighting to psychological harm—with their patients.
Dr. Bert mentions, "It was really trying to encourage everyone to remember this is a surgical procedure, and all surgical procedures come with risks and benefits."
Yet, Fields is okay with her chronic dryness because she can see again, stating, "It's a quality of life thing for me; I'm so much happier."
