I saw another ophthalmologist. The lens implanted in my cataract surgery a month ago is a tiny bit out of position, resulting in poor vision and dilation. It may not be correctable.

I complained to the eye clinic via WhatsApp. The surgeon filed a complaint with Policia Civil against me.

An English speaking attorney near me has a conflict of interest. He will refer me to a public defender to make a deal with the surgeon.

SUS subcontracts to a private clinic and the private clinic subcontracts surgeries to a private eye hospital. The clinic and hospital are run by the same family.

I'm sorry to hear of your bad experience and now messed up eye!!!

We have an ophthalmologist in the family that is superb and have had great success with her - but she is not SUS... only does specially referred clients that lack private insurance.

As several of my friends suggested, bring lots of money to live in Brazil.

So sad to hear that this is happening to you.  I am not an expert but my brother-in-law is an eye surgeon who does all kind of cataract and associated cosmetic surgery.  I was told that cataract surgery is very common and most problems can be fixed unless there is a complication from preexisting conditions and / or other health problems.

I would recommend finding another more experienced and more reputable eye surgeon to look at a possible remedy.

I suspect that complaining by WhatsApp is not a good idea especially when dealing with a surgeon.  Have you tried talking to the surgeon about your concerns?  At least you will know whether she will be able to help or not.

May be this is a sufficient reason to reach out to surgeons in São Paulo - but I would definitely be looking for extremely good reviews as having a good eye-sight is very important - esp. if you intend to continue to do beach-triking.

Good luck.
