Laser eye surgery claims.

Laser eye surgery is becoming one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures in the UK, with more and more people choosing to do away with their spectacles and enjoy the freedom of good sight without contact lenses.

The vast majority of these procedures are undertaken with skill, by experienced practitioners and the results are just as the client would wish. On occasion, however, something goes wrong.

The risks.

In rare cases, complications can lead to a fluid pressure build up in the eye, known as corneal ectasia. In order to correct the condition, the patient would need to undergo a corneal transplant. Dry eyes are a more common side effect, leading to the patient requiring special drops to place in the eye several times a day. Night vision can also be affected, meaning that the patient's ability to drive or work in dim light is hampered.

What can you do if you have suffered after laser eye surgery?

It is not unusual to experience some minor discomfort in the days after your treatment, as with any surgery, but if the condition does not improve, or if you experience one of the more extreme side effects but was not made fully aware of the risks prior to the surgery, you need to seek professional legal help. In order to ensure that you get the best possible help available, speak to a legally trained claims handler who will be able to take your details in a free, no obligation chat. They will then be able to use your details to match you to a fully qualified solicitor who is experienced in the field of laser eye surgery claims. As the solicitor will already have proven themselves in similar cases, you can rest assured that your claim will be handled in a competent and efficient manner.

No win no fee claims mean that should you lose your claim, you need pay your solicitor nothing. If your claim is successful, you keep 100% of the compensation awarded to you. Although claiming will not relieve the physical suffering that you have endured as a result of the eye surgery, you can feel a great sense of justice when you know that the person or company responsible for your suffering has been made to face the consequences of their careless or negligent behaviour. Furthermore, any financial burden that you may have suffered as a result of your injuries can be eased, allowing you to recover your health without additional financial worries.
