US EditionPolice Officer Dies by Suicide After Suffering Complications From Lasik Eye Surgery, Parents Say
- Police officer Ryan Kingerski, age 26, died by suicide in January 2025 in Penn Hills after experiencing complications from LASIK eye surgery in August 2024.
- He underwent an expected routine LASIK procedure lasting twelve seconds, but soon suffered persistent side effects like headaches, double vision, dark spots, and floaters despite visiting multiple specialists.
- Kingerski never returned to work after surgery, and his parents described him as witty, dedicated, and deeply affected by the symptoms which altered his life drastically.
- He left a note saying, "I can't take this anymore," which his father said was caused by LASIK effects rather than mental health issues, while experts acknowledge complication rates under 1% but confirm serious risks exist.
- Kingerski's family advocates for greater awareness and urges others to research LASIK carefully and seek support if they face complications, as they continue to grieve their loss.
