What is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery, or laser vision correction, is a corrective medical treatment performed to improve poor vision from conditions such as short-sightedness and astigmatism. The procedure involves the use of lasers to make subtle changes to the shape of the cornea with the laser working within seconds.
There are three main types of laser eye surgery, including: LASIK, SMILE, and surface laser treatments. With these procedures, there are potential risks. All the risks and side effects of the procedure should have been explained to you prior to the treatment. If they were not and you have suffered as a result, you could be entitled to make a claim. Contact one of our specialist advisors to know for sure.
Types of Laser Eye Surgery Negligence Claims
Laser eye surgery is a very skillful procedure and it requires great care from the medical professionals who are performing the surgery. Negligence occurs when a patient has received treatment that is not up to the standard of care that medical professionals should abide by, if you believe that you have received negligent care, you may be able to make a laser eye surgery claim.
At Patient Claim Line, we have experience representing many different types of laser eye surgery claims which often involve:
- Incorrect information given about surgical risks
- Surgical errors that should or could have been avoided
- Poor post-operative care

By contacting one of our specialist solicitors, we will be able to review your case and guide you through your laser eye surgery claims process.

Frequently asked questions about Laser Eye Surgery Claims
Our expert legal team answer your questions about making a Laser Eye Surgery Claim
Compensation can be calculated based on a variety of factors such as: the loss of past or future earnings, additional care expenses, private treatment, medical equipment, home adjustments.
According to the NHS,1 in 10 people who have laser eye surgery will often need further treatment to get the best results. Other common side effects can include:
- Visual disturbances that usually resolve
- Red marks on the eye that fade over time
- Mild discomfort, sometimes a ‘gritty’ feeling that can last up to 6 months
- Dry eyes
Claims must be made within three years from the date that you suffered your eye injury or from the date you became aware that you suffered an injury due to negligence. This is the case with many medical negligence claims.
We advise that you seek support for making a claim as soon as possible to allow you solicitors sufficient time to collect evidence so that they can put the best possible case forward for you to receive the compensation that you are entitled to.

Case Study
Vincent's Story
"He's always there for us"
At the age of 2 we noticed our son Vincent had trouble with his hearing. We had this testing over a number of years and were repeatedly told there was nothing wrong.
Initially we thought this was a speech and language problem, this wasn't the case. It took 4 to 5 years of assessments, with the constant response that there was nothing wrong with his hearing. A different test was them carried on Vincent overnight where it was found he was profoundly deaf.
After years of frustration we were finally able to provide Vincent with the support he required and received an implant. This has enable Vincent to be able to hear. The support from our solicitors has enabled to to gain access to specialist which have supported Vincent in closing the gap in his speech he lost out on to his peers.
