Eye injury medical negligence

When a patient is seen in A & E with an eye complaint a careful assessment must take place. The assessment will usually start with a standard chart eye test to see how well the patient can see. If only one eye is affected the eyes are tested separately. If an eye injury is suspected, further investigations should be undertaken and if necessary an immediate referral to an eye hospital will be appropriate.

Problems and medical negligence compensation claims arise from a failure to diagnose and treat penetrative injuries to the eye, detachment of the retina, chemical burns to the eye or foreign bodies in the eye.
