Dr. Harvey M. Wener, optometrist
Sam's Club, Getwell Store Unnecessary cataract surgery insisted upon

I went to Dr. Wener, an optometrist affiliated with the Sam's Club store at Getwell Road store in Memphis, for an annual eye exam on October 21 hoping to get a new lens prescription for my glasses. Half way through the exam, he said there was no point in giving me a new prescription since a cataract surgery would solve my vision problem.

He then referred me to two cataract surgery centers for an operation saying that the surgery was relatively risk free. Dr. Wener recommended a cataract surgery to me in at least one of my previous eye exams. But this time, he was adamant that I had a surgery.

Although I am 70 years old, I am still understandably reluctant to have the surgery since I can see well driving after dark and had no sign of deteriorating vision.

So on 11/13 I went to see Dr. Sidney Kriger, an ophthalmologist highly recommended by my colleague, to have a second opinion.
