More details to this question:
I was prescribed UVITY eyedrops I used them for three days and started having vision problems. I end up having surgery for bilateral retina detachment. And the doctors believe it may have been because of the eyedrops that I was prescribed. I missed around three months of work and I’m trying to find a lawyer who would hear my case

This may be a malpractice lawsuit against your doctor not a products liability case. VUVITY eye drops are specifically contraindicated for people with risk of a detached retina. Unfortunately 3 months work is generally not enough to support a med-mal case as such claims are typically focused on permanent injuries due to the cost of investigating and presenting such cases.
