Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and management of eye disorders, including diseases and injuries of the eye and visual system. Ophthalmology expert witnesses are healthcare professionals with extensive knowledge and experience in ophthalmology who can provide expert testimony in cases related to eye disorders, including medical malpractice, product liability, and personal injury. Related sub-specialties include optometry, neurology, and ocular pathology.
Cases where an attorney might need an ophthalmology expert witness:
A medical malpractice case involving delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of an eye disorder
A product liability case involving a defective eye product or medical device
A personal injury case involving eye injuries caused by an accident, assault, or negligence
