What was supposed to be a routine consultation about an upcoming cataract surgical procedure was anything but.

Naples Police were called to the Frantz Eye Care location at the corner of Golden Gate and Tamiami Trail Wednesday after a patient threatened a staff member.

According to the report, the patient told the medical professional: "If My Vision Is Not The Same I Will Kill You!"

The victim told her supervisor she was afraid the patient would come back to the office with a gun.

"Very surprised, they are very professional, very cordial, very nice people," said patient Whitey Cutter.

4-In-Your-Corner reached out Frantz Eye Care for comment, but have yet to hear back.
