(Kathy Griffin Lasik Eye Surgery Story Contd.. )

Kathy Griffin told the Entertainment Tonight show on May 11th 2005, "There is only one reason I'm coming to you guys and that's honestly to get the word out. ... I'm not getting anything out of this. I'm not getting any money.

"I'm not suing anybody; I'm not doing it for publicity; I'm only trying to tell my story, my opinions, my experience."

She also recalls the terrifying moment when she learned that she was going blind: "I lost it. I was sitting in his (the surgeon's) office crying, thinking, 'I'm going to lose my vision in my right eye."

Griffin, who already has a cloudy spot visible in her right eye, is set to undergo one more eye surgery in an effort to reverse her condition and save her sight, but she accepts there's a chance it won't work.

She adds, "I hope that maybe I can get my vision back, or maybe arrest it so it doesn't get any worse, but I really don't know."
