Suing the doctor is not the my point, replacing lost Income at the time that it is needed most is what disability insurance is for. Refractive surgery as it is marketed today should come with a no fault type of insurance that would allow all parties involved to avoid the pitfalls of the civil court system. Refractive surgery has the risk of producing an unsatisfactory product for the patient even after a perfectly executed surgery. That unsatisfactory product is like having a dirty pair of soft contact lenses permanently attached to your eye balls. One more thing after you sign the informed consent form you have agreed to the principal of "he who consents can not be harmed". The hard and an ugly truth is no one is going to have to fall over themselves to settle with you. You'll have to get a lawyer who will get half plus expenses and if you're lucky your vision will be such that you will not be able to tell if you're "seeing eye playboy playmate" looks like a recent centerfold or Phyllis Diller.
