A suburban Chicago ophthalmologist is being sued by a patient who says the doctor operated on the wrong eye and then operated on the correct eye without proper anesthesia. Sutton Dryfhout alleges Dr. Benjamin Ticho of The Eye Specialists Center was to operate on her left eye in August 2017 to fix a lazy eye. Ticho allegedly operated on the right eye. Dryfhout alleges upon discovering the mistake, Ticho operated on the correct eye while she was in the non-sterile post-anesthesia care unit. Sutton Dryfhout (left) is suing Dr. Benjamin Ticho (right) of The Eye Specialists Center for allegedly operating on the wrong eye and then using non-sterile equipment on the other eye Dryfhout says there were 'bloody tears coming out of my right eye (above), there was a scratching sensation' after the surgery Ticho is a practicing eye doctor at The Eye Specialists Center (above) in Chicago Ridge, Illinois When she woke up out of surgery, Dryfhout began to experience 'bloody tears coming out of my right eye, there was a scratching sensation,' she told WFLD-TV. Dryfhout says that the doctor's attempt to correct his mistake was horrifying. 'He had brought up a syringe and stuck it into my eye and I felt a burning sensation,' she says. 'I felt the needle go into my eye, it was hurting. I was telling him to stop and he wasn’t stopping.' The lawsuit alleges Ticho used instruments, including a needle, scissors and cautery pen on her left eye, causing her pain, despite Dryfhout asking him to stop. 'I was awake during the second surgery,' Dryfhout said. 'I was screaming for him to stop. I could feel the needle going into my eye, see the scissors he was using and smell the cautery burning my eye.' Dryfhout's mother, Denise, says she confronted the doctor after the operations. Dryfhout alleges that after Ticho realized that he operated on the wrong eye, he tried to correct his mistake by operating on the other eye Dryfhout (left) says that Ticho (right) called her and recommended that she be tested for HIV and hepatitis since he used instruments that were also used on another patient 'I said, "Sutton remembers you sticking a needle in her eye. Why did you do that?" 'And as he backed out of the room, he said, "I didn't think she'd remember" - and that was it.' Dryfhout says that while she was recovering from surgery at home, she received a phone call from Ticho. The doctor allegedly told her that she needed to go on antibiotics because of the operation. Ticho also allegedly told Dryfhout that since he used the same instruments on her that were used to operate on another patient, she also needed to be tested for HIV and hepatitis exposure. Dr. Colette Major of Midwest Anesthesiologists is also named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit Dryfhout, who says she suffers from double vision and severe headaches as a result of the botched procedure, alleges negligence, medical battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress in the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court. She is seeking at least $50,000 in damages, though she did not specify an amount. Michael Henrick, an attorney for Ticho and The Eye Specialists Center, declined to comment Thursday on the allegations. 'My main goal in all this is just making sure it won’t happen to anyone else,' Dryfhout told the Chicago Tribune on Thursday. 'He is a pediatric surgeon, so he mainly operates on little kids and I didn't want another little kid to go through what I did.' Dr. Colette Major of Midwest Anesthesiologists is also named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit. She is accused of negligence for providing anesthesiology services for an operation on the wrong eye.
