Eye
Injuries
As with any medical procedure, there are certain risks associated
with eye surgeries. As such, some patients may emerge from these procedures
with poorer vision than prior to surgery. Doctors who perform these
surgeries may be rushed, under trained or inadequately prepared. Poor
follow-up care and infections may also cause serious vision problems.
Loss of vision, including total blindness, may also occur after
undergoing certain surgical procedures that are completely unrelated
to the eyes. This tragic outcome may occur if a patient’s
blood pressure drops, hampering blood and oxygen flow to the eyes.
Without adequate oxygen, the eyes may be damaged to a point where
they no longer function. Surgeons must carefully guard against a
drop in blood pressure. Failure to do so may be caused by medical
malpractice.
