Botched laser eye surgery left a woman unable to watch TV without wearing sunglasses. Joanne Hartley, from Wawne, West Yorks, had the op last year in a bid to improve her vision but things went wrong – and she has now been awarded damages. She recalled saying 'I can't see, I can't see' after routine surgery left her with a large open hole in her eye. Joanne, 53, had been referred for surgery as she had ‘narrow angles’ in her eyes. The common condition causes pressure to build, leading to headaches and pain. The issue is resolved through laser surgery, with a small hole made at the top of the iris to help the fluid drain better, with the hole covered by the eye lid when the eyes are open. She is now forced to watch TV wearing sunglasses ( Image: Caters News Agency) But Joanne says she knew straight away that something was wrong after the surgery at Hull Royal Infirmary Eye Hospital as she couldn't see anything at all.
