Patient Reviews
Apr 07, 2023
I would not visit Dr. Schirripa again. Dr. Schirrpa stated I would see a lot better after cataract surgery. I do not. My eyesight is much worse: blurry, filmy, glazed all day. I regret greatly having had the surgery. I now have to take eyedrops daily for the rest of my life, with little results. My left eye has developed ptosis after the surgery, possibly cause by eyelid edema, anesthesia myotoxicity, and use of a lid speculum or bridle suture. (NIH)
