Eye Condition Presentation: Our client presented to medical professionals with symptoms affecting their vision that required prompt investigation and appropriate treatment to preserve sight in the affected eye. Medical Failures: Despite clear indicators of a sight-threatening condition, there were failures in diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring that resulted in our client losing vision in one eye that could have been preserved with proper medical care. Complete Sight Loss: The medical negligence resulted in complete and irreversible loss of vision in one eye, fundamentally affecting our client's visual capabilities and daily life activities. Depth Perception Impact: The loss of vision in one eye significantly affects depth perception, making activities such as driving, sports, walking on uneven surfaces, and judging distances much more challenging and potentially dangerous. Peripheral Vision Loss: Losing sight in one eye reduces the overall field of vision, creating blind spots that affect awareness of surroundings and can impact safety in everyday activities. Daily Life Challenges: The unilateral vision loss affects numerous daily activities including reading, computer work, driving, sports participation, and general mobility, requiring significant adaptation and lifestyle changes.
