The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ordered a Maryland eye surgeon to pay $1.07 million to a former patient who claimed his vision was damaged by laser eye surgery a decade earlier.
The lawsuit against against Dr. Mark Whitten was filed by former patient David Cantalupo of Pennsylvania after a swift eye laser surgery procedure left him unable to see out of his left eye. According to an attorney representing Mr. Cantalupo the procedure caused the vision in his left eye to be “very blurry, fuzzy” and stated that his client “sees double images.”
The lawsuit accuses Dr. Whitten of failing to warn his patient of the dangers associated with laser eye surgery and failure to collect “informed consent” before performing the procedure.
Dr. Whitten is reportedly Tiger Woods LASIK eye surgeon.
