LASIK eye surgery has become more and more popular since its introduction in 1998. However, because of the way it is portrayed, people often forget that it is a surgery which carries with it certain dangers.

Approximately 28% of all LASIK  surgeries have had to be reoperated because of issues with the first surgery. Common problems can include blurred vision, double vision, cornea scarring and sensitivity to light among others.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a LASIK surgery, contact the Pennsylvania medical malpractice attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams at 215-329-3511.

A medical malpractice suit was filed in 2002 in relation to a botched surgery in 1999. The surgeon operated on the victim's right arm to remove a benign tumor and sliced through a nerve.

On May 7, the jury in the case found the surgeon to have been medically negligent and awarded the victim $1.5 million for physical pain, $1.5 million for mental suffering, $500,000 for disfigurment and another $500,000 for lost wages.

A bill to allow military personnel to sue for medical malpractice has passed in the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law. It will now go on to the full House Judiciary Committee.

Currently, military personnel are unable to sue for medical malpractice because of a set of rulings from 1950. As a result of those rulings, the medical care in the military has been lax and has caused many avoidable injuries.
