Recently, a Smiley Law Queens medical malpractice attorney secured a $700,000 settlement for our client, a jewelry and gem dealer who underwent LASIK surgery on both of his eyes in a private facility in Flushing. After the procedure, our client reported blurred vision in his right eye. The doctor performed a second surgery to correct the blurred vision.

After exhaustive research, Smiley Law Queens medical malpractice attorneys discovered that our client's doctor had failed to diagnose keratoconus (thinning and a cone-like bulge of the cornea) in the affected eye. That condition made performing a second LASIK procedure a case of medical malpractice. We argued that the second surgery further thinned and destabilized the eye's cornea, and that the condition cannot be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Further, our Queens medical malpractice attorneys attempted to prove that our client would require corneal transplant surgery as a result of his doctor's negligence. Based on our argument, our client received a $700,000 settlement before the case went to trial.
