Eye Surgery Considerations@eye-think

Icon review from this community

I had the surgery in June using buried sutures. First, when I went for the consultation, the consultation with the coordinator was pretty long, and with the doctor in charge, did we even talk for a minute? And that was it. But somehow it felt like, since he was someone who only specializes in surgery, he would only be good at surgery, so I thought it might be okay to trust him. And I decided to go ahead because he had graduated from Seoul National University and was a doctor affiliated with Wonjin. Right now the swelling is still going down, so I have to keep watching. The heights of the lines on both sides are not the same right now. It is obvious enough for others to notice at a glance, and more importantly, only one side has a raised outer eye corner. The clinic says that was how my eyes originally were, but I had no idea my eyes were like that until now. Even when I looked at my pre-op photos, I couldn't tell at all, but the coordinator showed me the photos and talked like that, and I got the feeling they were trying not to let me meet the director. I think the reason was they were afraid I might say something bad about them. That's only my guess, but I was quite dissatisfied with the consultation coordinator. When a patient asked any questions before surgery, the answers were very half-hearted, and she talked as if buried sutures were not even a real surgery. Since I was very timid and wanted to be under sedation, I contacted them about that, and she just said it was her day off right then and that I only needed to fast for two hours. But I found out I actually had to fast for six hours, so I went hungry from the night before. When I came back one month later to check the line and the surgery result, I couldn't understand why they had told me to come. They just say it went well and that's it. They barely listen to the patient, and even though I stubbornly managed to meet the director, who then said we should check the line again in three months, the desk staff still would not set the appointment. It was really absurd! And I decided I should never go back.. For now, my eyes are still under observation, and as I said, they are uneven. ㅜㅜ
