What is a Traumatic Cataract?

A traumatic cataract can occur after eye trauma that affects the eye’s lens, specifically the lens fibers. It can occur after blunt trauma or penetrative trauma during an accident. A traumatic cataract usually develops within a few weeks of the trauma, although it can potentially take months or years to develop. The most common cause of eye injuries are blunt trauma (when the eye is struck but there is no lesion) and penetrating trauma (when there is a lesion). An example of blunt trauma is a concussion cataract, which occurs because the force of the impact reaches the eye (even if there is no direct hit to the eye).

The Symptoms of a Traumatic Cataract

Traumatic cataracts are associated with some of the following symptoms:

• Misshapen eye
• Pain and discomfort in the eye
• Bleeding
• Swelling
• Inability to see well or at all
• Blurry vision
• Red eye

Treatment for Traumatic Cataract after an Accident

Treatment options will depend on the severity of the cataract. Small cataracts that are stable in size and outside of the line of vision might just be observed by a doctor. Cataracts that are within the line of vision or closer to the center of vision might be treated with eye drops that enlarge the pupil in order to improve vision. In fact, mild cases of traumatic cataracts have been known to heal on their own.

In more serious cases, the cataract must be removed. To remove the cataract, the natural lens of the affected eye will have to be removed and replaced with an artificial lens. In most cases, this consists of just one surgical procedure; however, in cases where the eye injury is severe, surgeons will wait for the eye to heal completely before moving forward and placing the artificial lens.

Can You Sue for a Traumatic Cataract?
Yes, you can sue if you developed traumatic cataracts after an accident. You can sue for traumatic cataracts just the same as you can sue for a head injury, concussion, lacerations, etc. After all, the cataract developed as a direct result of the harm caused in the accident. The issue is that these post-traumatic cataracts can develop weeks, months, and in some cases even years after the original accident. This can make it difficult for affected parties to prove that their cataract is related to the original accident.

Because of this, it is absolutely essential that injured parties are thoroughly evaluated by a medical professional after an accident. An in-depth medical evaluation can identify injuries that are not obvious. It is also important that affected parties seek medical care for all issues, no matter how small it may seem. Your doctors should all be aware of the accident that you suffered. Having complete medical records from the moment of the accident up to the discovery of the traumatic cataracts can definitely help you with your case.

Your Right to Recover Compensation

If you developed cataracts due to trauma suffered in a car accident, slip and fall accident, or work accident, for example, you could have grounds to sue and recover compensation. Although every situation is different, you could potentially be eligible to recover compensation for the following:

• Medical costs
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages
• Legal fees

The specific type and amount of compensation that you could recover will always be based on the details of your claim. For more information about what you could potentially win, speak with a lawyer.
