How we can help
Negligence can be found at hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and opticians. Opticians or eye surgeons may be responsible for an eye injury if:
- A full checklist of eye examination is not completed
- There was misdiagnosis, or no diagnosis, of an eye condition
- The incorrect strength of glasses or contact lenses were prescribed
- Poor or incorrect equipment was used for eye surgery
- There were poor conditions for eye surgery
Wherever your treatment was carried out, there is a chance of compensation if a serious injury was brought on by another party’s negligence. When it comes to eyes, any kind of injury, no matter how minor, can have a big impact on everyday life.
Compensation could be due as a result of the following eye injuries;
- Loss of an eye
- Loss of vision in one or both eyes
- Damaged or detached retinas
- Damage to the cornea
- Haemorrhages or bleeding around the eye
- Penetration by a foreign body
