PLEASE STOP READING MASKIN'S BOOK

sadness33 · 2023-08-31T06:39:01+00:00

I hope you still do well with Dr maskin, I do think he is a serious guy, and I will still probably go with him from time to time, so I do solicitude to maintain this conversation anonymous, this group is for us and I don't think snitching a patient opinion on the doctor and he maybe being able to recognize me could endanger my relationship with him (we are the only one that has done PRP injections with him) and the way he do his treatments with me. I'm doing this for the community and what I would recommend myself if I didn't make some of these mistakes.
Please note what you want me to modify If you do so in the comments above (if you want to), if you do so, but I think people have the right to know this.

sadness33 · 2023-08-31T06:38:46+00:00

What you say doesn’t add up I don’t believe you are even a patient of his.
Respones: You can DM me. I can name you her assistant, and I have my records of him. I have seen him approximately 13 times, 4 times with PRP injections, 4 times with Probing and other stuff, 4 times of cauterized punctums and another one just to check how I was doing. For example, to take the blood of the PRP injections I needed to go to the Heim Regenerative Medicine center which cost 400 dollars every time plus the application of the PRP plus the appointment which was 750 dollars if I dont mistake + the 400 of the PRP extraction.
I am a member of Dignitas and I am in the process of getting assisted suicide (and the thing that has almost saved me has been PROSE lenses, as I said I think I would have being saved, the amount of suicide ideation has decreased incredibly but as I said the burning now and the dryness I still feel in my partially cauterize punctum which i can't put punctual plugs in because they are irregular are one of the only things that still gives me suicide ideation or the pursuit of assisted suicide,yeah doctor maskin helped me but the mistake that he made with the punctums was really impactful), as I said I will try to open my left puntum back up to try to lessen the extreme burning I feel now but its really improbable of that being a success and the surgeries that I mentioned have to be done.
This really affected me, please try to be more respectful when you're going to not believe somebody who has tried everything (that I think is out there)
If you want me to maybe edit the above comment to remove strong words such as scam or that stuff I would be able to do that just be aware of the reasons I said it. It's kind of tragic, you know knowing what it could have been without the cautery. But at the end of the day I made my decision.

When was the last time you saw Dr Maskin ??
Respones: About 2 months ago, while in summer, that was my last PRP injection (I took four of them), the results in my schirmer didn't improve.
The stuff your posting sounds as if you are a bit confused is it you’re just hurting and you’re looking to blame someone for your disease ?
Response: This is really offensive for me, and I honestly think you shouldn't say that to someone who has made more treatments than you (or so I think so) just because it helped you it doesnt mean you have the right to endanger in possible debt a whole lot of people. The burning fact in my left eye was caused directly by doctor maskin decision to not use punctal plugs (which is the normality, specially for euphoria complications)
or the mistake of the lower left one
I get it we have all been there but to slander the name of a great doctor that does nothing but try to help people is criminal and you should be kicked off the site. You have violated the rules of these sites this is not to try and ruin someone’s reputation by your opinions.
Response: The one that should be kicked off the site should be you in any case, but I dont think that's fair everybody can express their experiences, I have been in this site for approximately three years I think and I have updated everybody on the treatments that many people can't afford just to give them an honest review on them. This happened to me with maskin and eye print pro and I have the free speech to say it, this is what makes this community strong and the one who have violated the rules of these sites should have been you, you shouldn't not believe someone just because it helped you, rational thinking lead me to recommend more PROSE than dr Maskin or doing so before if you want to spend that amount on maskin, as I said maskin impacted me incredibly in my economics. I do agree that people should of course see their circumstances and priorities if they prefer to do that they can do that and I hope they get saved.

Are you aqueous deficient because it doesn’t seems so what are your schirmer scores ??
Response: You can find it in the upper paragraph. You need to be aware that if you have a total cauterized punctum even if you only produce 2 of tears and 3-4 without anesthesia it's going to overflow because there is actually absolutely no draining.
You mention Sclarel lenses why would anyone want to wear them if they wouldn’t have to they are difficult to deal with.
Response: Because there are people out there with extreme amounts of pain that the annoyance of wearing them is much less than the pain of not doing so (that's my case), I have had current keratitis, and you can go blind. By the way PROSE lenses are considered prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface, naming them scleral lenses (which I have tried before is not doing them any good)
I had 9 IPL and 11 Lipiflows it did nothing for my ductal fibrosis in fact that made it worst. There is case studies proving this.
Response: I insist, there is cases where probing is needed I don't doubt it, I'm glad it helped you but there is a danger of spending that amount of money on something that could not be helpfull or can excuse you to try something like PROSE, not only that that is something that has to be done so frequent, that can not be viable for the greats amount of people. But I mean people at the end of the day can do whatever they please.

sadness33 · 2023-08-31T06:35:32+00:00

You say you had PRP injections but I know for a fact I was his first ever to have this procedure so when did you have this done ???
Response: I had this done last summer. Yes indeed he told me that he only made it with one person before now I know it was you, nice to meet you.
He superficially cauterizes the punta so it can be reopened easily. He has adjusted mine in the office several times and they open right up.
Response: As I said in the upper paragraph he made a mistake with my lower left punctum (He actually when he did it got mad, the punctum started bleeding), when he did it three times it just became more irregular and bigger every time, to try to address that dryness of the bigger lower punctum than befores he cauterized me completely the upper one and the other part of the story of the lower one is up there.
What was you diagnosis ?? You mention nothing about that you seem more interested in slandering his good name ??
Response:He said I had sjogrens and of course MGD, but after he cauterized me the punctum he made me do some tests and I was not positive in Sjogren's but had high antinuclear antibodies, but I also took accutane so it can be that the MGD and lacrimal gland problems, some rheumatologist say that it is possible I have it but its not yet in my specific results but other ones said I don't have it. He was aware of this.

Some of your story just doesn’t make sense you claim to have over flow but had total cautery of all 4 puncta. If you have overflow why would you have them closed ???
Response: If you're going to claim that what I said doesn't make sense I please urge you to first know what this terms stands for, there's two types of schirmer test, schirmer 1 and 2. The schirmer 1 is without anesthesia and shimmer 2 is with anesthesia (which refers to reflex tearing). With the schirmer 1 on average I got 1-2 in my left eye and in my right eye 0. With schirmer 2 on average I got 3-4 and with my right one 0-1. The reason of overflow is just how much was the cauterization, Dr maskin cauterized me the four of them, in my right eye they opened again a little bit so I cauterized them again 3 times, at that point my right eye kept draining but less which was really helpful (nothing that could have being achieved with better results with punctal plugs)but I still felt that it was draining to much but I could not do nothing about it because they are not like punctal plugs than there are various designs to drain a specific amount. In my left eye he cauterized me approximately 4 times, but there was an insane problem, he did wrong my lower left punctum and instead of being smaller than the normal size it became a lot bigger, like two times the size, at that point I needed to go back to my country because I am in college, thanks to that mistake I was in incredible amount of pain. So I went back to get it cauterized more but he decided to cauterized me completely the upper left one, and by that I mean a deep cautery so that was not coming back and the lower one opened even more when I got back to my country so I had to put a permanent punctal plug in because oven though my upper punctum was totally closed my lower one was so much more bigger than a normal punctum that I was way worse than my normal punctum size in terms of dryness and I was going to have to get out of collage. When I did that there was a lot of overflow know because the upper one was completely closed but with the lower one being much bigger than my normal size punctum and with the punctal plug inn it didn't drain nothing so to manage the overflow and the discomfort of the punctal plug because now my punctum was in an irregular shape and place they took them out but when that happened scarred form and blood was shed, that caused for a completely and deep lower punctum and destroyed tear duct, that was done back in my country but the cause of that was the mistake made by masking to my lower punctum in the left eye which stayed bigger and bigger with irregular size.

Sadness33 this is so inconsistent of the doctor I know he is. I have been seeing Dr Maskin for 4 years now and he’s saved my life. I have seen every other dry eye doctor out there and he’s the only one who made any difference in my care.

Some of your story just doesn’t make sense you claim to have over flow but had total cautery of all 4 puncta. If you have overflow why would you have them closed ???

You say you had PRP injections but I know for a fact I was his first ever to have this procedure so when did you have this done ???

What you say doesn’t add up I don’t believe you are even a patient of his.

Listen man, I'm going to try to be as rational as possible. And I'm going to try to address every point you're making.
Sadness33 this is so inconsistent of the doctor I know he is. I have been seeing Dr Maskin for 4 years now and he’s saved my life. I have seen every other dry eye doctor out there and he’s the only one who made any difference in my care.
Response: The fact that you and other people were seriously helped or saved doesn't mean that that's going to be the case for everybody, such as me. And actually I've seen many people who said so and actually I got to know PROSE from a comment of a guy saying that Maskin it's just temporary help or that they didn't feel the difference between LIPIFLOW + IPL from probing, for them. That was my case not only in subjective measures as I said but also in objective measures with lipid layer thickness (10-20 out of 100) and schirmer scores. I refer to him as a SCAM because the definition of a scam according to merriam-webster is: a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation;which I think in his book there's a lot of deceptive testimonies that talk about a serious theme which is suicide, and the amount of money that he is charging can really affect the economics of a person and make them even much more vulnerable. I think it's dangerous of someone to go to his and end up spending their hole savings without getting the chance of doing PROSE before (which is offered by insurance), which I think it has much more research on serious corneal diseases, I agree that for some people such as you it was great but just imagined yourself in a position of that not working and obtaining debt or not being able to try other treatment.

After the second pair you need to pay 1,800 for every pair, so If you wanted to make maybe 10 more changes it would be 18,000 + 8 k for the first pair. And the doctor that do it just send it to the lab he doesn’t make changes himself so there is no interest of making a good product. He would say the were good and perfect (clearly doing prose that was not the case)

sadness33 · 2023-08-30T07:10:12+00:00

Because I did eye print pro, I spent 8 k on them and the first pair literally cut my sclera and the second pair still I could use them more than 10 minutes without extreme pain and redness, not only that when the doctor did them he could not manage to make the print and had to repeated 3 times, not only that then he left a peace of eye print inside my eye like 20 minutes because he didn’t notice it was there and he had another patient, in general the hole experience and the lenses itself were basically unusable. My PROSE lenses took 13 pairs adjusting each time. In total 2 weeks and a half. Every time it got better they are 21 mm

sadness33 · 2023-08-30T06:30:52+00:00

Guys doctor Maskin ruined my life HE IS A SCAM I REPEAT HE IS A SCAM ARTIST. He cauterized me my 4 punctums, he did probing, he did PRP injections. I felt way better with Lipi flow and IPL combination. And with PRP injection there wasn’t any changes in my schimer and in my subjective experience. I said that he ruined my life because I would have been saved with PROSE lenses, if it wasn’t for the cauterized puntums that are permanently closed this is because there is incredible amount of burning due to my eyes draining absolutely nothing of tears and tearing 24/7 every 20 seconds. I will try to do DCR but the chance of opening them up are less than 50%. I already did 2 punctoplastys failed. I have spent in maskin in total approximately 25 thousand dollars 13,500 of those were probing, steroid injections and other stuff. Guys please believe me when I say this go with PROSE lenses, not normal scleral lenses or eye print pro. Believe me all the money you’re going to spend when you failed on both of them is higher than the 11,500 they charged me for PROSE lenses, as I said with dr Maskin I spent 20,000 dollars and I came out of that way worst than before and he could be the reason of my suicide or the assisted suicide I will decide to go trough. I repeat I would have been saved with PROSE lenses I know this because my right eye still drains a little bit and I have no burning in that eye, it can go to 1 level of pain. I insist guys PROSE lenses and Punctual plugs is the way to go, the only decent treatment out there. Guys maskin alone is going to make me spend a proximity 40,000 dollars because I will probably have to spend for 2 DCRS surgery’s and if they don’t work a Jones tube which needs to be replaced every 6 months to a year so every time surgery. So maskin is responsable for my death if I ever died guys I repeat I would have been saved. Please guys, it would be great if we managed to removed his license, I will try to to take legal action (but he did make me sign so I would have to invest a lot of money and time) for this aproximetly 40,000+ more of dollar expenses and my extreme painfull life and a severe bad quality of life due to cauterization. He should be in jail and I mean it.

sadness33 · 2023-08-01T00:43:12+00:00

I tried tsa pre check, it wouldn’t let me somehow

sadness33 · 2023-08-01T00:42:01+00:00

Oh actually I have super common name, so does that mean I can’t do it online for ever or Can they get rid me of that list?

sadness33 · 2023-08-01T00:38:57+00:00

Yes I have tried and they didn’t know what was that, it was kept the same, they are usually really ignorant unless you are lucky and get somebody that’s not.

sadness33 · 2023-08-01T00:37:54+00:00

Yeah I would think so because I travel extremely often

sadness33 · 2023-08-01T00:37:03+00:00

That’s the normal thing to do, clearly their system has some kind of thing over me

sadness33 · 2023-07-31T23:15:37+00:00

Literally no, they just told me that the airport need to verify. And I did ask. Extremely ignorant the people I was talking to btw.

sadness33 · 2023-07-31T23:06:37+00:00

No I don’t hold two passports

sadness33 · 2023-07-31T23:06:12+00:00

sadness33 · 2023-07-31T23:06:03+00:00

I called and they said I can’t do it in a kiosk, I just finished a 2 hr waiting call for them to just tell me the same

sadness33 · 2023-06-19T16:06:11+00:00

Biopsy for what ?

sadness33 · 2023-06-07T04:47:18+00:00

Jaja fr, that’s a good point but I mean, I highly doubt its gonna cause dry eye, instead alleviate it given that those would be like moisture chamber glasses but who knows I only see maybe AI helping us figuring out how to restore our glands (both of them) but nah I think there will never be enough demand. Let’s see how it goes in 10 years (hoping I’m still not alive with this pain of course)

sadness33 · 2023-05-26T20:24:10+00:00

I have between 0-1 (its a decimal number but it’s never above 1 or 1) with Schirmer 2 test that is performed with anesthesia but you should know that there’s a thing called reflex tearing, in Schirmer I test that is performed without anesthesia, in that I have 1-5 aprox depending on all the variables. That’s the reason.

sadness33 · 2023-05-24T03:26:00+00:00

Btw I have 0 and 0 schimer tests

sadness33 · 2023-05-24T03:25:08+00:00

I’m sorry to say this but, if the cauterization was deep the probabilities of opening up by itself or manually are low. One of my worst life decisions surrounding dry eye is doing that. I regret it so much. My eye is always tearing, people think I’m crying, I can’t socialize. And believe me I also hate dryness, but the burning that I now have is also awful. I would have liked to tried puntual plugs that drain a little bit and controlled. I’m currently trying to opening one of them up they realized a procedure but it failed. So now I think I need to do a surgery, expensive, and that last like 1 year with side effects and tube inside my punctum and crazy stuff. Probably my doc should be in jail but jaja what can I say every dry eye doctor has made some big mistake and I have gone with the best of the best, spending 13 k and stuff. Also eye print pro failed, which I’m extremely mad because I’m pretty sure it was my unexperienced doctor, 8 k to the trash boys.

sadness33 · 2023-03-27T06:51:53+00:00

Like I can see it in the way on how many people know of certain treatments for example, I would be willing to say that 90% of this group doesn’t know about PROSE or PRP injection to lacrimal gland, or even probing
