I had a corneal transplant operation that went horribly wrong and left spiral cuts in my retina causing permanent blindness in left eye. before surgery was told that people that have this operation sometimes have several times that it can be retried if cornea is rejected anjd success rate is extremely high in general, Afterwards my surgeon says that was my fault for my eye moving while scalpeling by hand (for this procedure everything I have read says that it is a cookie cutter type machine used to remove cornea) and didnt tell me anything about not having a chance for site or about my having an additional condition in the back of my eye (first I have heard of it and not in my prev. examination notes before)and that is why the surg. cannot be attempted again suppossedly. until way after the date of the surg. I understand that there is a statuet of lim. on this type of negligence / malpr. or incompitence case . And only have a couple months left before it would have been a year since the actual incident/procedure had taken place. I need help fast! This is difficult for me to use my vision for more than 20 minutes at a time reading or web especially because the eye I have left is legally blind as well and has the same condition that my left one has and is getting worse eventually leading to total blindness/ or rupturing all together. The condition is known as Advanced Stages of "Keratoconus". A slow falling apart of the cornea until eventual rupturing of the eye and blindness. I need a pro-bono injury att./lawyer w/doctor referal for neg./malprractice suet asap as only have a couple months left til statuet of limit. runs out I believe it is a year from the incident? Not sure. Need all info. on what options / assistance in pursueing this matter and/or legal means to extend lim. or special considerations to persons in my situation that may grant myself special circumstance and inability to properly be informed adaquately of my rights and means/personal help with papers documents filing ect. if any from private organizations or otherwise as welll as possible university research on eye disease operations ect. that I may volunteer for that may not be available to the opthalmic surgery professionals to0 offer as of yet. I AM ATTEMPTING TO SALVAGE WHAT REMAINS OF MY SIGHT, LIFE, SANITY, MARRIAGE, FUNDS TO KEEP A ROOF OVERHEAD/ FOOD/ CLOTHING ECT. I know that people do get assisted in recieving proper care and compensation for such a situation as this one but, How / where / when / what? I need help before I lose more of the functionality to search for myself! Most likely because I am not supposed to strain my eye in this way, am going to get severe migrain pain, at times enough for me to pound head, pouring sweat, slurred speach while wife rubs my neck n shoulders til I finally pass out. from upclose to screen for more than 10- 15 min. as I am now..
