Specialist Ophthalmology negligence solicitors

We are experienced in handling medical negligence matters arising out from ophthalmology negligence.

Ophthalmology refers to the branch of medicine relating to the anatomy, function and diseases of the eye.

These types of medical negligence cases are often complex. We can provide you with detailed advice and instruct experts to report on your individual case.

Examples of ophthalmology negligence cases include:

• Defective laser eye treatment surgery and/or inappropriate clinical advice and patient selection for the surgery
• Not recognising early signs of eye infections
• Delay in diagnosis and treatment
• Optic nerve damage because of raised intra-cranial pressure
• Blindness because of failure to correctly treat diabetes
• Inappropriate cataract surgery techniques
• Inappropriate squint surgery
• Traumatic retinal detachment

“If you have unfortunately become blind as a result of ophthalmic surgery, we can work closely with your carers throughout your claim.”
