Eye Surgery Mistakes

There are many health problems that affect a person’s eyesight that cannot be treated with glasses or contacts. In these situations, a person may need a surgical operation to correct their eyesight. These surgeries carry many of the same risks as other types of surgery. In particular, mistakes made by a surgeon or surgical assistant can still have a serious impact on a person’s health.

Contact the New Jersey medical malpractice lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529 for more information regarding your legal options if you have been the victim of a surgical error related to an eye procedure.

Surgical Malpractice Common in Eye Surgeries

Many of the common errors found in eye surgeries are completely preventable. Oftentimes in cases of eye surgery malpractice, patients are prepared improperly for surgery. This can create a cloud of misinformation that results in improper actions once surgery has started. Some of these errors include the following problems:

  • Wrong eye surgeries
  • Anesthetizing the wrong eye
  • Wrong surgical procedure
  • Wrong patient surgery procedure
  • Use of unsterilized instruments
  • Improper handling of surgical tools

These errors can have a major effect on a person’s health. If a surgeon changes or removes tissue during a surgery that is healthy, this may lead to future health problems with the replaced tissue. The failure to properly resolve the existing condition or the introduction of a new health concern is wholly unacceptable.
