Eye Injury / Ophthalmology
Ophthalmology is the study and treatment of disorders relating to the eye. Ophthalmology claims may arise from negligent treatment provided through a private optician’s practice or the NHS.
Injuries may be caused by negligence such as:
- Delays in diagnosis of eye injuries, such as retinal detachment
- Mismanagement of glaucoma
- Incorrect prescriptions
- Incorrect laser treatment
- Incorrect cataract treatment
An eye injury may lead to partial or total blindness, in which case significant care, aids and equipment may be required. Burnetts can assist in obtaining interim payments and liaising with appropriate professionals such as case managers and occupational therapists to help with rehabilitation.
