    Corneal Abrasions or Scratched Eye Lawyer

    corneal abrasions scratched eye lawsuit attorney
    Many people are injured in the workplace, and at locations away from their homes. Sometimes the injuries to the eye come as a result of the negligence of one party to another. When this is the case, it can result in a corneal abrasion or scratched eye. A corneal abrasion is a scraping wound to the front and clear area of the eye. You can get a corneal abrasion from an accident on the job or around the workplace, such as on a construction site. This injury can be debilitating and permanent, which can disable a person who may become visually impaired as the result of an accident related to losing sight in one or more eyes.

    There are many symptoms associated with a corneal abrasion, including:

    • Pain
    • Swelling on the eye
    • Tearing
    • Watery eyes
    • Blurry vision
    • Sensitive to light
    • Feeling of scratchy eyes
    • Foreign body on the eyes

    The cornea of the eye is a highly sensitive area of the eyes. For that reason, it can take a long time to heal this area of the eye. If there is a high level of pain and discomfort, there may be bacteria, germs and other debris that is present in the eye which can lead to an infection. In the case of an infection, there may be a risk of losing sight in that area, or even of going blind in that eye. If you are suffering from a corneal abrasion, it can feel as if there is a permanent grain of sand stuck in your eye. It will be very important to see a qualified eye doctor or go to an urgent care facility for immediate relief, and to be seen if you have this condition. The condition can be diagnosed with an ophthalmologist tool called a slit-lamp biomicroscope, which will review the eye and show any damage to the cornea. Also, there is a technique to use special dyes and lights to review the cornea of a person’s eye to determine if there is damage to the eye.

The reason being is that you may suffer permanent eye damage as the result of being injured in your eye or the eyeball area of the eye.
