Just got home from the eye doctor's . I was expecting a pair of needles , but instead got a laser treatment . I sometimes wonder , about repeating treatments , for things I can't tell are needed , that don't seem to actually be fixing things . In some cases , the treatments , not only don't seem to be fixing things , but sometimes , actually wind up making things worse .

Shooting out cataracts around eye lenses should have near zero risk by good doctors. ...why would "needles" be expected ?

where would they be without patients?

I had eye surgery May last year, lots of pain and that eye is worse than it was, Surgeon blames me for healing too quick.
I have canceled having the other eye done next month.

Even over time your eyesight is not improving? Is it at least not getting worse?

Had the lenses replaced with acrylic some years back . Was having problems with obstructions , so had laser surgery after that . The laser did seem to clear my vision a lot , but a lot seemed to remain . Then , after 14 laser treatments to each eye , they told me I had glacomma , so they began the needle treatments , in my right eye . I couldn't see or feel improvement , Last visit they told me the right eye had developed leaks , so they skipped the needles . This visit , they were concerned about the left eye leak , so they did the laser , It's very irritated , to the point there are occasional tears rolling down my check . Left the Dr's office at 12:00 noon . It's now 9:37 P.M.
Over the years , there have been other occasions , with other kinds of doctors , where the treatment has caused problems , rather than fixing them .

@Cast1es Sorry, that sounds horrible.
