Ophthalmic (eye) surgeries, including procedures like LASIK, cataract removal, and retinal repairs, are delicate operations requiring precision and expertise. When errors occur during these procedures, patients can face serious consequences including vision impairment or loss.

​

In Turkey, an increasing number of international patients are seeking eye treatments, but complications from negligent surgical techniques, unqualified practitioners, or inadequate post-operative care have led to rising malpractice claims.

​

Common ophthalmic surgery errors include:

​​​

​

• Incorrect Laser Calibration: Leading to under- or over-correction of vision and permanent visual distortion.

• Infection: Resulting from poor sterilisation or post-operative care, potentially causing blindness.

• Retinal Detachment: Caused by surgical trauma or failure to recognise early warning signs.

• Corneal Damage: Improper technique can damage the cornea, affecting vision quality.

• Glaucoma or Increased Eye Pressure: Failure to monitor or manage can lead to permanent damage.

• Poor Surgical Planning: Performing unsuitable procedures without proper assessment or consent.

• Delayed Treatment of Complications: Leading to worsening eye health and loss of vision.

​

Such errors can result in partial or complete loss of sight, chronic pain, and a significant reduction in quality of life.
