Types of Laser Eye Surgery Negligence
Laser eye surgeons are legally responsible for providing you with a professional level of medical care. When this is not provided it can result in serious life-altering injuries. Surgical errors can result in severe damage to a patient’s health and your surgeon must follow all the pre-screening procedures prior to commencing with the surgery. This will help your surgeon to notify you of any patient-specific risks that you may encounter.
Defective Laser
A defective laser can wreak havoc on a patient’s eye and your medical practitioner is legally responsible for making sure that their lasers are 100% operational prior to using it on your eye. You should always ask your doctor what type of laser they are using and how old the laser is.
How Long Will it Take to Receive Compensation for My Laser Eye Injuries?
