A Chicago area doctor allegedly performed surgery on the wrong eye, claims a lawsuit filed this week in Cook County Circuit Court. The doctor is also accused of later trying to fix the mistake without anesthesia.

Sutton Dryfhout, 21, filed a medical negligence lawsuit against Benjamin Ticho, an ophthalmologist at The Eye Specialists Center near Chicago, following a 2017 surgery to fix a lazy eye, the Chicago Tribune reported.
