Medical Negligence Claims

Eye Claims

Sustaining damage to your eyesight after undergoing a procedure that was intended to improve your vision can be a very stressful time.

In instances where eye surgery or treatment is unsuccessful due to a mistake or negligent act, Duncan Gibbins Solicitors may be able to help you with eye claims for compensation.

There has been a sharp increase in the number of people undergoing eye surgery in the UK. It might be an attempt to cure a disease, improve your eyesight, or for cosmetic purposes to correct a defect.

As with any surgery there are accepted risks involved and these should be made sufficiently clear to any patient before undergoing any procedure. Sometimes however, surgeons can simply make a mistake that they should not have made.

Recipients of an unsuccessful eye surgery may have to undergo further corrective treatment, suffer permanent damage which restricts visibility, or in the worst case scenario even suffer blindness.
