"According to the suit, Nordstrom suffered severe and permanent damage in both eyes, further irritation from a pre-existing dry eye condition and medical expenses.
The suit claims Virdi recommended laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, surgery for Nordstrom without warning him that the configuration of his corneas did not make him a good candidate for the surgery and that the surgery could worsen his borderline normal dry-eye condition.
Virdi failed to receive written informed consent from Nordstrom concerning the risks and potential complications that could arise, the suit adds.
The doctor also failed to properly maintain the laser, the suit further alleges.
Virdi Eye Clinic was closed Friday. A message was left through an answering service, but efforts to reach someone for comment were unsuccessful.
The Nordstroms are being represented by the law firm of Katz, Huntoon and Fieweger of Moline, and seek more than $50,000 in damages."
