Dr. William Forrest Keeling, MD

I had LASEK surgery with Dr. William Keeling at Indiana Eye Clinic in Indiana in 2017/2018. Prior to this, I had been a patient of Dr. Keeling for most of my life, and my mother was also a patient there. Because of that long-standing relationship, I trusted him completely with my vision and my care. Before surgery, I had multiple consultations with Dr. Keeling. I was told that I was an excellent candidate for LASEK. After surgery, I carefully followed all post-operative instructions and attended many follow-up appointments. Throughout those appointments, I repeatedly reported that the vision in my right eye was not as clear as my left eye. Approximately one year later, Dr. Keeling discussed performing a LASEK enhancement. At that visit, additional testing was finally performed, including a visual field test and OCT scan. At that point, it was discovered that I had a retinal detachment in my right eye. I was told the detachment was severe and “macula off,” meaning the central retina… had detached. I required emergency retinal surgery the very next day, including placement of a scleral buckle. The retinal surgeon explained that the detachment was serious and had likely been present for a significant amount of time. Following the scleral buckle surgery, my vision permanently changed. I now experience double vision, distortion, loss of detail, and ongoing visual complications. I later learned that I had lattice degeneration associated with my high prescription (-6.00), which raised serious questions for me about whether I was an appropriate candidate for LASEK in the first place. This experience had a profound impact on my quality of life and mental health. I share this review so others will ask questions, seek second opinions, and carefully research all risks.

I agree he's good

Performed a lens transplant and did not get the lens in the capsule but put it in front. Did not tell me or offer any input on improving my vision. another doctor told me 8 mos later.

A godsend ! I have worn glasses for 63 years and today after a refractive cataract survey on each eye, I can see better without glasses than ever in my life.

Mis-diagnosed. Re-evaluated. Would not recommend
