Robert D. LEE

I referred to Dr Lee by the Vitreous Center In Ft Wayne because I was looking for somewhere closer for surgery to remove floaters in both of my eyes. They remove the vitreous fluid and put in a gas bubble. He asked how much they bother me and I said annoying., it is truly more than that but I should have said more. Imagine multiple things floating throughout your vision, the only time I don't see them is when I am sleeping. Right off the bat he let me know he did not want to do the procedure telling me several times that he did not want to do the surgery (if he feels that way he should have refused the appointment) to many risks that I already knew about. Another thing regarding the recovery is the face down position that I would have to be in for anywhere from 1 week to 6 weeks, again I already knew about that. Part of the exam is numbing the eye and pressing down with what looks like a small awl, he said that I would feel a little pressure, he under stated that, never again. The Dr told me to think about it for 3 or 4 months and come back. He left the room and his assistant handed me information paperwork regarding the procedure (which I already had received from Ft Wayne) and said this is what normally causes people to change their mind. Has Dr Lee ever heard of the vitrectomy using saline? I did not need 3 to 4 months to think about it, walking out of the office I knew I would never go back there and if anyone ever asks me for a recommendation I would tell them to make the drive to Ft Wayne.
