An elderly Queens woman is suing her doctor, claiming a botched cataract operation cost her the sight in her left eye.
Evalyne Chedda, 70, went to Dr. Alina K. Stanciu’s office in Forest Hills on Jan 18, 2010 for the operation.
“I’m totally blind in my left eye,’’Chedda who is suing for an unspecified amount of money, told The Post yesterday.
She claimed that while she was going in and out of consciousness she heard the doctor say, “Oh my God! I ruptured the membrane!’’ aaccording to legal papers filed in Queens supreme Court.
After the surgery Chedda, confronted the doctor, who denied making the statement, she said..
Days later, Chedda experienced severe pain and Stancui allegedly told her she had glaucoma and had to see a specialist.
Stancui did not return calls for comment.
