Incorrect Vision Prescription

Glasses and contacts help many people with vision problems to see clearly, partially or completely eliminating a potential disability. It is recommended that everyone get their eyes checked at least every few years to ensure that they are seeing clearly and properly. Poor vision can result in severe setbacks at school, frequent headaches, inability to work, and poor driving. When glasses or contacts are incorrectly prescribed, the results can be just as severe or even worse, because the patient believes that he or she has the correct prescription and may ignore the warning signs of a wrong prescription.

Every individual has different vision needs. Some people have only slightly blurry vision, while others cannot make out even large print or objects without their glasses. Some individuals may have astigmatism or may have a different prescription for each eye. When a prescription is even slightly incorrect, a patient may suffer from debilitating headaches, blurry vision, or nausea. Poor vision from an incorrect prescription may cause an accident or result in a poor performance report at work or at school.

If you have suffered injuries or damages from an incorrect vision prescription, consider contacting a personal injury lawyer immediately. Your optometrist or glasses or contact lens provider may be responsible for the incorrect prescription and you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries or damages.
