"Dr Sagona‘s initial report from my first visit on September 5, 2023 shows no injury of conjunctiva or cornel abrasions. Dr Sagona’s report from September 26, 2023 does not have a report like the others I received, it has hand written notes which state “ I can feel right lens on cornea after two hours get blurry, thinks it’s touching the cornea  . Hit two hours.” There is also hand written note on the bottom to “re-order O D only with the prescription.”Keep both lenses in office. Patient left wearing own scleral lenses “. Dr.Sagona failed  to mention what day I picked those Sinergy scleral lenses up from Samantha and that I was instructed to wear them in to my appointment so she can see how the scleral lenses are in my eyes , which made sense. She also forgot to document that I told her I wore them for 4 1/2 hours two days previously to our scheduled appointment on a certain date and my eyes became very irritated, and that is why I knew I could only wear them for about 2 1/2 hours for the appointment on certain date. On October 3, 2023 report is injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion and on October 10, 2023 it is documented again for conjunctival hyperemia right eye in October 3, 2023 notes. Documented on October 12, 2023 and October 13, 2023 notes show my eyes progressively worsen. I keep meticulous notes of dates, times and what transpired during our interactions. Any person can read these notes and see it was caused by the scleral lens fitting, causing major irritation in both of my eyes.  You have not spoken to me since you referred me to Dr. Ginsberg nor did anyone or yourself from your office call to see how I was doing while under your care, you’re basing it on Dr Ginsberg‘s diagnosis of a new CPAP with a question mark ?  That is my fault because when he asked me “do you use a CPAP machine, I responded yes, I just got a new one”. I should have been more specific and told him I just got a new replacement for my old CPAP machine which was eight years old and is documented with the 911 World Trade Center health program First Responders under the James Zadroga Act of 2010 but I did not think we were looking for causes of my eye problem , I thought we knew. Sam, your husband and co owner who is not an optometrist or ophthalmologist has been talking to me and responding to e mails in regards and I appreciate it because at least someone is.  I acknowledge that my situation is unique, but I believe I should have been informed during my initial visit that I would be better served by another Doctor who could prescribe the same lenses that have previously worked for me. With that said, I believe that the abrasions were a result of the ill-fitting lenses, which left me unable to perform daily tasks for over four weeks. I couldn't drive, buy groceries, or even keep the lights on in my home. I supplied you with my last scleral lens prescription but was not advised until after the examination was complete that you were not able to prescribe Essilor scleral lens to me. IF YOU NEED CONTACT LENSES PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE !!!"
