Family Sues LASIK Plus Over Son's Death
2 Jul
Summary
- A family is suing LASIK Plus and a surgeon following their son's death.
- The lawsuit alleges the officer was not informed of alternatives or risks.
- LASIK Plus denies any clinical link between suicide and their surgery.
A lawsuit has been filed by a local family against LASIK Plus and a surgeon, citing the death of their son, Officer Ryan Kingerski. The family alleges that Kingerski experienced debilitating complications after undergoing LASIK eye surgery and subsequently died by suicide in January 2025.
The legal action claims that the officer was not informed about safer alternatives to LASIK or the possible risks involved in the surgery. This lack of information, according to the lawsuit, meant Kingerski could not make an informed decision about the procedure.
The family expressed their pain, stating they lost him "to a system that refused to listen, refused to warn, and refused to care." LASIK Plus has previously asserted that no clinical evidence links suicide to LASIK eye surgery.
