Eye injury compensation claim and treatment

Minor injuries, such as a surface scratch of the cornea, may be exquisitely painful. The most important symptom is loss of vision, and this should always be tested by closing the other eye.

Other signs of eye injury include:

  • Redness surrounding the cornea

  • Extensive bleeding under the membrane covering the white of the eye
    (sub-conjunctival haemorrhage)

  • A line of blood inside the eye, visible at the bottom of the cornea (hyphaema)

  • Any greyness visible on the cornea

  • Any visible irregularity on the cornea

  • Loss of the firmness of the eyeball

  • A change in the shape of the pupil

  • Protrusion of part of the iris through the cornea

  • Any such signs should be reported without delay
