Title: Disappointing Experience with IOL Surgery—Patients Should Be Cautious I underwent an IOL implantation in my left eye by Prof. Dr. Iqbal at Vision Eye Hospital. I selected a Zeiss European multi-focal lens, expecting high-quality results. Unfortunately, the procedure did not go as expected. After the surgery, I have been facing continuous vision issues and have had to return to the hospital multiple times. I even needed laser treatment after the IOL installation, yet my vision is still not functioning properly. My left eye has become visibly smaller, and I now must use spectacles regularly. The most disappointing part is that every visit requires new consulting fees and additional charges, including charges for laser treatment, even though the complications were not caused by me. Despite being a post-surgery complication, I had to pay every time, which is both frustrating and unfair. I also observed that the doctor appears to be aging, and his hands were shaking during examinations. In my opinion, there should be an age limit for surgeons or a mandatory yearly medical fitness assessment by an independent authority to ensure patient safety. Ethical practices must be stronger, and patients shouldn’t feel financially pressured when the issue originated from the surgeon's mistake. Overall, my experience has been very unsatisfactory, and I urge future patients to be extremely cautious, ask detailed questions, and ensure they fully understand the risks before proceeding.
