Eye Injuries
Our eyes are some of the most sensitive parts of our body; and, because of this, traumatic injuries can often lead to serious damage and loss of vision. Vision loss or blindness can be caused by objects that strike the eye, such as flying debris, defective contact lens cleaners, or contacts. Severe burns, from fire or exposure to chemicals, can also cause blindness or loss of vision. Blunt trauma to the head, is, unfortunately, largely responsible for loss of vision cases. It is estimated that about 1,700,000 Americans experience a traumatic brain injury each year; and, of those, about 20% have resulting vision changes.
If the negligence of others has caused injury to your eyes, you may be able to seek compensation, including through worker’s compensation. Common vision injuries include:
- Complete loss of vision/blindness
- Partial loss of vision
- Peripheral loss of vision
- Double vision
- Corneal abrasion
- Injury to the optic nerve
- Blurred vision
- Sensitivity to light
