Tragic LASIK Story Struggles - Baltimore Eye Specialist Offers Hope!

BALTIMORE, MD — The recent death of a young Pennsylvania police officer has shed new light on the lesser-known but devastating complications that can arise after LASIK eye surgery. Now, a Baltimore-based practice is reminding the public that help is available for those suffering from post-surgical vision issues.

Ryan Kingerski, 26, died by suicide in January after months of pain and debilitating visual problems following a LASIK procedure. His parents say the surgery left him unable to return to his job in law enforcement and in constant discomfort, suffering from headaches, double vision, floaters, and extreme light sensitivity. The full story was recently reported by People.com.

While LASIK is considered safe for many patients, a small but significant percentage experience long-term complications that can severely impact their quality of life. Conditions like chronic dry eye, blurred vision, visual distortions, glare, and halos are real — and in some cases, debilitating.
