Eye injury claims may not be as widely discussed as other medical negligence cases, but they are more common than you might think. Mistakes during eye surgery, misdiagnosis of conditions like glaucoma or detached retina, or poor aftercare can all lead to serious, sometimes permanent, damage. Whether your vision has been impaired due to a surgical error, a delayed diagnosis, or incorrect treatment, you have the right to seek justice. Our team has handled many such cases, and we understand the profound impact these errors can have on your daily life.

Negligence in eye care can take many forms. Some of the more frequent claims we deal with include:

Surgical errors – Mistakes during cataract surgery, LASIK procedures, or corneal transplants that result in infection, worsened vision, or even blindness.
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis – Failing to detect conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or tumours in a timely fashion, leading to preventable vision loss.
Medication errors – Prescribing the wrong eye drops or incorrect dosages, causing further harm.
Lack of informed consent – Not properly explaining the risks of a procedure, meaning you weren’t fully aware of potential complications.
Inadequate follow-up care – Neglecting to monitor post-surgical recovery, leading to avoidable complications.

If any of these issues sound familiar, you may have a case for compensation.

Starting your claim is simpler than you might think. The first step is to contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll listen carefully to your experience and assess whether you have grounds for a claim. If we believe you do, our specialist solicitors will guide you through every stage of the process.

We’ll gather all necessary medical records, consult independent experts to confirm negligence occurred, and build a case on your behalf. You won’t have to worry about the legal complexities, we handle everything, keeping you informed at every step. Importantly, we work on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning you won’t face any financial risk in pursuing your claim.

Compensation isn’t just about covering medical bills—it’s about restoring your quality of life as much as possible. Depending on your case, you may be able to claim for:

Pain and suffering – Compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused by the negligence.
Loss of earnings – If your injury has affected your ability to work, we’ll seek compensation for lost income.
Medical and rehabilitation costs – Covering expenses for further treatments, corrective surgeries, or specialist care.
Adaptations to your home or lifestyle – If your vision loss requires changes to your living environment or assistive devices.

Every case is different, so we’ll ensure your claim reflects the full impact the negligence has had on your life.

This is one of the most common questions we’re asked, and the answer depends on the complexity of your case. Some claims settle within 2-4 years if liability is quickly admitted, while others, particularly those claims involving severe, long-term damage, may take longer. Rest assured, we’ll always work as efficiently as possible to secure the best outcome for you, without unnecessary delays.

You’ve already been through enough, let us take on the legal burden so you can focus on your recovery. If you believe you’ve been a victim of negligent eye treatment, contact The Medical Law Partnership today. We’re here to help you get the justice and compensation you deserve.
