Amendolia v. Dodick, No. 18268/01
Court: Kings Supreme
Plaintiff Attorney: Jonathon D. Warner of Warner & Scheuerman, New York.
Defense Attorney: John L.A. Lyddane of Martin Clearwater & Bell, New York.
A New York ophthalmologist was found not liable for vision problems one of
his patients complained of following LASIK surgery. Plaintiff Lisa Amendolia
claimed that her vision worsened significantly in the three years following
the LASIK procedure, which uses a laser to reshape the cornea. She sued Dr.
Jack Dodick, who performed the procedure, alleging that he incorrectly
applied the laser so as to create upward corneal ablation, thus forming
superiorly decentered ablations that distort her vision. Dr. Dodick
contended that the laser was applied properly, but that Ms. Amendolia's eyes
did not heal evenly.
