Pro Tip:

Refraction at this stage is likely to be a mixed astigmatism due to incisional edema; I usually wait until month 1 to refract unless the patient is bothered by reduced VA or I want to rule out a rotated ICl.

Our Testimonials

I was involved in a serious life-threatening incident while in the care of a hospital. Grover Law Firm represented me in a medical malpractice law suit against some of the biggest medical institutions in Alberta. I was grossly outmatched by the defendant’s financial resources and medical expertise. Fortunately, my lawyer thoroughly investigated my case and was able to identify the specific party at fault amidst a complex medical institution. I was able to achieve a fair settlement against one of the biggest medical facility in Alberta.

Grover Law Firm achieved the compensation that I needed for the brain injury I suffered in a car accident, and it was a pleasure working with them.

I was involved in a front end collision and was told by the insurance company that my injuries are capped by law to a minimal amount. I was initially hesitant to pursuit a law suit as i thought my injuries would quickly resolve. I am not the type of person to complain, but as my injury lingered on from weeks to months, I find it started to affect my work and livelihood. My father referred me to Steve Grover who took on my case. He carefully reviewed my medical records and found an MRI report that points to a more serious injury. My lawyer presented the medical evidence in Judicial Dispute Resolution, and I was able to settle my case for many times the defendant’s initial offer without going to trial.
