Eye Injury Lawyer California
Ehline Law the Eye Injury Attorney
When an eye injury is sustained it might result in partial or permanent vision loss, or the restriction of the field of vision. Eye injuries are more commonplace than most people realize and for this reason litigation against negligent doctors and clinics is increasing. There are some specific things that are known for causing eye injuries along with the uncommon occurrences of eye injuries such as:
- Lasik eye surgery errors, which can cause severe eye injuries
- Defective air bags are known to have caused traumatic eye injuries
There are other ways of sustaining eye injuries that are less common, such as tanning salons, where it is under the Food and Drug Administration guidelines that customers must wear protective goggles. This is due to the concentrated UV radiation that tans the skin is not able to be blocked by merely closing the eyes, wearing ordinary sunglasses or covering the eyes with cotton balls.
There have been studies that have proven that too much exposure to the ultraviolet rays to the eyes can damage both the retina and cornea by burning them. Exposure to ultraviolet rays repeatedly over time can cause the lens of the eye to change. The lens will cloud and begin to form a cataract, which if not medically treated can cause blindness.
Another of these uncommon eye injuries was brought to light on May 15, 2006 when Bausch & Lomb recalled their contact lens solution ReNu with MoistureLoc. This recall was issued after reports of consumers being infected with a dangerous eye infection known as Fusarium Keratitis. This eye infection cause’s inflammation of the cornea in the front of the eye and in some cases requires surgery.
Part of an eye injury claim is ensuring that the injured victim is compensated so they are able to pay medical bills and continued medical care and obtain expert assistance with daily living and activities, after an eye injury accident.
