Common Causes of Eye Injuries

Eye injuries can occur in various environments, often due to hazardous conditions or unsafe practices. Some of the most frequent causes include:

Workplace Accidents

• Exposure to chemicals, flying debris, or malfunctioning machinery can cause serious eye damage.

Road Traffic Accidents

• Car crashes, bicycle collisions, or pedestrian incidents may lead to eye trauma from shattered glass, debris, or impact injuries.

Sports-Related Injuries

• High-contact sports like football, rugby, and boxing carry a significant risk of eye injuries due to forceful blows.

Defective Products

• Faulty household chemicals, cosmetics, or unsafe machinery can lead to severe eye damage.

Slips, Trips & Falls

• Falling or hitting your head can result in serious eye trauma, sometimes leading to vision loss.

If your eye injury occurred due to another party’s negligence, you have the legal right to seek fair compensation.

Types of Eye Injuries

Eye injuries range in severity, and their impact can vary depending on the cause. Some of the most common types include:

Corneal Abrasions

• Scratches on the eye’s surface that may cause pain, redness, and blurred vision.

Chemical Burns

• Exposure to hazardous substances can damage the eye’s delicate tissues, sometimes leading to permanent impairment.

Blunt Force Trauma

• Direct impact from debris, accidents, or physical force can cause serious eye damage.

Penetrating Injuries

• Sharp objects puncturing the eye can result in life-altering vision loss.

Retinal Detachment

• A severe condition where the retina separates from the back of the eye, often requiring urgent surgery to prevent blindness.

Regardless of the injury type, early medical intervention is crucial—and so is pursuing the compensation you deserve.

What Compensation Can You Claim?

If your eye injury was due to someone else’s fault, you may be entitled to claim for:

Medical Expenses

• Covers hospital treatments, surgery, specialist care, medications, and vision aids.

Loss of Earnings

• If your injury has prevented you from working, you can claim for lost wages and reduced future earnings.

Pain & Suffering

• Compensation for physical pain, psychological distress, and diminished quality of life.

Rehabilitation & Therapy

• Includes costs for long-term treatments, physiotherapy, and counseling.

Permanent Vision Loss
