LASIK Surgery Errors
Wisconsin Surgical Error Claim Lawyers
Recovering for Victims of Lasik Surgery Errors or Malpractice
For many people Lasik (Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis) eye surgery is a miracle surgery. They went from squinting with their eyes or searching for inch thick lenses every morning to a new sense of freedom - sight without corrective lenses. However, for a small percentage of people, errors or complications cause them to suffer significant problems after the surgery - vision loss, halos, ghosts and dry eyes.
If you have questions about your rights following an unsuccessful Lasik eye surgery or if you have suffered due to a Lasik accident, talk with the personal injury attorneys at Aiken & Scoptur. We have helped numerous clients recover millions in personal injury and medical malpractice lawsuits in Wisconsin. Contact us to discuss your case.
While Lasik eye surgery is successful for millions of people, that doesn't change the fact that accidents happen, results vary, and sometimes the risk was not fully explained. Thousands of people are still suffering from the challenges of a surgery gone bad months after the surgery:
- Under corrected vision
- Adverse wound healing (regression)
- Blurred vision
- Weakening vision
- Extremely dry, painful eyes
- Halos and ghosts
- Night glares
For some people were not good candidates for Lasik eye surgery. No matter how well the surgery was performed, their eyesight would not have benefited from the surgery. However, for others, their complications are the result of errors or complications in the surgery. Lasik eye surgery negligence may involve:
- Failure to use FDA approved equipment
- Irregular healing (irregular flaps, wrinkles, excessive healing, etc.)
- Irregular corneas (creating an off-centered or irregular flap)
- Failure to adequately discuss risks involved
Our lawyers hold negligent medical professionals accountable. It is mind-boggling the amount of money brought in by those who perform Lasik eye surgery. They perform the seemingly "simple" procedure many times a day without further consideration. Yet the smallest mistake and someone's life is permanently impacted. When your eyes are involved, a small surgery error is a big deal.
If you have suffered due to a Lasik eye surgery error, contact the Milwaukee law firm of Aiken & Scoptur. We can help.
