On November 12, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health said it had received a complaint from the family of a patient named VLTH about the treatment process at Saigon Eye Hospital II.
The Inspectorate of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has forwarded the petition and feedback to the director of the above hospital for consideration and resolution according to regulations. At the same time, the inspectorate also went to the hospital to work on issues related to the patient's treatment process.
According to a report from Saigon Eye Hospital II, patient VLTH (18 years old) was admitted to the hospital on April 10 with a diagnosis of nearsightedness and astigmatism in both eyes. After examination, the patient was prescribed Femto-Lasik surgery for both eyes.

On April 11, the patient was discharged from the hospital with visual acuity in both eyes reaching 9/10. However, 10 days later, the patient returned for a check-up and was diagnosed with vision in the right eye reduced to 2/10.
Saigon Eye Hospital II coordinated with the patient to visit other medical facilities to determine the cause. The examination results at Ho Chi Minh City Eye Hospital and the Singapore National Ophthalmology Center both showed that the patient's right eye vision ranged from 2/10 to 4/10, and the left eye was 10/10.
The conclusion of the Professional Council established by Saigon Eye Hospital II shows that the steps of examination and preparation of patients before and during surgery are in accordance with the procedure. This conclusion has been responded to the patient.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health said it is continuing to consider and resolve the patient's relative's petition in accordance with legal regulations.
