Chronic eye bleeding

My friend has had three eye surgeries since January 13. He had gone in to have an artificial lens in his right eye, which he had not had vision in since an accident a number of years ago. Folllowing each surgery, the eye filled with blood and he would get horrible headaches in the eye/temple area and would experinece continuous vomiting and nausea.

The last operation (to drain the blood) was Feb 1. He seemed to be recovering but today he said the pain is back. He has also had no sign of any vision at all since the original surgery January 13. It could be that the bleeding commences before the vision every time.

The surgeon says this is very rare and puts it down to bad luck. But when does this end? He's about given up on this eye and wants to ust fix the slipped artifical lens on his other eye so he had have some sort of vision and life again.

Anyone know what's happening here and what can/should be done?
