Coxxxy did you check to see if your case was filed under the link I gave in the previous thread?  Mine isn't there and I'm wondering what is going on.  Maybe they are waiting until the last minute to file? Not sure!!!

I still have blurry vision in my eye which sucks.  I can no longer drive at night because it is just to difficult.

I got my paperwork but I am not on that site as well?? I went for a check up and now have astigmatism in my left eye ( which was the one I had 6 ulcers in) My vision is getting worse, I now am going to need bifocals...wonder if thats age(42) or if this caused me to decline faster?? How about you guys?

I haven't gotten anything in the mail similar to a complaint with a file stamp on it.  The only things I have received were all the paper work for signing up with them and a few updates. 

They did contact me almost a year ago wanting me to ask the dr if I had fusarium keratitis because the dr never did tests and only diagnosed it as a "keratitis".  How could you ask a dr if you had something a year earlier?  It's not my fault he didn't follow up with tests.  I have scarring on my eye and blurred vision, can't drive at night and now I might not even have a case because my dr didn't do testing.

You know, with as many folks as Parker and Waichman are representing on this matter, you would think more of them would be posting on here with us!!

When you file a suit like this you never ask for a specific amount.  The statutes for most states actually just state that, for instance, if you seek damages in excess of $50,000.00 you can file with the county courts and get a jury instead of a bench trial.  So I believe mine just says damages in excess of 50,000.  And yes they do ask for future medical on mine as I still have to have the corneal transplant.

Does anyone know if P&W are doing cases of just strickly fusarium or are they doing cases of sensitive eyes, bacterial infections etc...

Also floridaeyes were you diagnosed with the fusarium with proper testing?  I apologize if you have already stated that.

I was diagnosed with Funsarium Keratitis in Jan. 2006 and had a corneal transplant in May 2006 and am still going to doctors as my sutures still have not been removed. I have not heard one thing from attorneys since submitting paper work.  The last correspondence I received was Dec. 2006 from an attorney who is no longer with firm.  I have called several times but never get to speak with an attorney.  I also have checked the civil supreme web site and my name does not appear.  Have any of you had luck speaking with an attorney or who do you speak with in the firm.  I have however been reading all coments from Oxxy...Ouchmyeyehurts and Florida....hoping to get a bit of infor from you guys

Yeah, I would say that Linda might want to call in to them.  I have had lots of contact by both email and mail from P & W.  I actually got an email from Michelle two weeks ago looking for my billing history on the injury.  I assume they are making some headway on this.  I also did not test positive on cultures for the fusarium but was cultured about two months into using 5 different drops in my eye.  So my doctor said that the cultures could have just been skewed by medications.  So I wouldnt worry about the culture thing.  I think the greatest part of proof lies in the fact that we all popped up with a very rare infection at the same time.  Also the same time that Bausch and Lomb accepted responsibility and we were all using their product.  In my mind the strict liability part of our complaints should kick in and we should all be taken care of for that very miserable summer we went through.  I honestly just cant wait to get mine fixed and have the vision back!!

Hi guys!

I got an update in the mail.  It sounds as if they have been very busy with the Renu cases and that things are in their favor.  Only downside is that they said they will continue to get depositions from B&L employees and it will take some time.  How long is the question.  I can see this lasting another 1-2 years.

I don't mind waiting at all, I mean we've come this far.  I'll just be happy with future medical covered.  It'll be interesting how my next eye appointment turn out as my right eye is almost completely blurry now.

Well guys tomorrow is my eye appointment concerning the blurry vision I have at the moment.  Hopefully it is something that can be corrected.  I'll let you all know how it went.  One question though, should I submit any records to P&W on tomorrow's visit?

Hi guys!

Sorry for the delay.  My eye visit went fairly well.  I was told my blurry vision is from the oil that mixes with tears is not there.  So basically it can be compared to dry eye.  Not sure I agree with that fully but I will be seeking a second opinion because I still can't drive at night from the blurriness.

She did say that the scarring hasn't gotten any worse and that my eye looks much much better then last visit.  I was excited!

I finally did receive my copy of my complaint that was filed along with all the paperwork and I'm just dreading on filling the papers out.  I'm not one to remember dates.  Did anyone else have trouble filling out the papers?  Also does anyone find it odd that they would ask for the contact lenses used while the infection was going on?  Two years later of course I wouldn't have the lenses.  My infection was long before the recall of moisture loc so anything I had I was told to dispose of by my doctor.
