Laser Eye Surgery

What is Laser Eye Surgery?

During Laser eye surgery, a computer controlled laser is used to correct the shape of the cornea.

The treatment is designed to improve a person's sight, sometimes to such a degree that they no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses.

Unfortunately however, many people are injured as a result of laser eye surgery and were not made aware of the potential problems before the surgery was carried out.

Injured by Laser Eye Surgery

Any medical doctor can carry our laser eye surgery, sometimes with only a few days training and no specialist qualification.

Minor complications of laser eye surgery include dry eyes and night vision problems making it difficult to drive or work in the evening or in dim light.

More serious problems can include severe pain in the eyes, vision worse than before the accident or corneal ectasia, which is a fluid pressure build up on the eye. In some cases of corneal ectasia, a corneal transplant may be necessary.

If you have been injured by laser eye surgery or any other medical procedure, medicine or medical device, you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim.
