An FIR was lodged today against 14 people here in connection with botched up cataract surgeries conducted at a free camp last week which have resulted in complete loss of vision in the operated eye for more than 20 patients, an official said.
Civil Surgeon, Muzaffarpur, Vinay Kumar Sharma said those named in the FIR lodged at Brahmapura police station include the doctor who had performed the surgeries, paramedics who assisted him at the camp held on November 22 and people involved in management of Muzaffarpur Eye Hospital where the operations took place.
Altogether, 65 people had undergone cataract surgery at the camp held at the charitable hospital situated in Juran Chhapra locality of the town.
Within a few days, many of them complained of pain and other complications. Four such patients had their eyes eviscerated at the hospital itself as a measure adopted to prevent infection from spreading to other body parts, a member of the managing committee of the medical establishment said.
