Published: October 1990

Seven hundred medicolegal claims in ophthalmology were reviewed by one ophthalmologist who served as an expert for four decades. The ophthalmologist was personally involved in 620 claims. The 700 cases have been categorized and analyzed. The reasons for the claims and some lessons derived from them are presented. Familiarity with the claims encountered by others may enable ophthalmologists to avoid similar claims.
