Individuals are attracted to Lasik eye surgery to eliminate or diminish their dependence on glasses or contacts. Unfortunately, many of those who opt for Lasik surgery are the wrong kind of patients for this type of operation.

Lasik is shorthand for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. Lawrence Baron has represented several individuals who suffered tragic, irreparable injuries as a result of undergoing this type of surgery. He has been able to help them be compensated for their losses.

One of those who Baron has helped is Brenda Ross. She sought out lasik surgery so she wouldn't have to wear contacts any more. She enjoyed swimming and water sports with her family. Without contact lenses in her eyes, she felt she could be more physically active with her family and enjoy life more.

Unfortunately, Ross's surgery went tragically wrong. A medical device was not properly assembled and it cut deeply into her eye. She suffered permanent damage and distortion of vision. To make matters worse, she learned that she never was a good candidate for surgery in the first place and her physician failed to tell her.

Following the resolution of her case, Ross became involved in support efforts for victims of lasik and laser eye surgery. She started a group for Oregon and Washington called simply, Refractive Surgery Complications Support Group.` She also participates regularly in a national web site for former lasik patients, surgicaleyes.org.
