Ophthalmologists Admit Guilt in Patient Blindness Case
September 30, 2026
Two ophthalmologists admitted their guilt in the case of eight patients who went blind after cataract surgery. The patients lost their sight due to an infection following the surgery in October 2020. The charges were modified to reflect improper use of disposable materials. The judge has set a new court date to discuss admissible facts and mitigating factors. The families of the patients have filed civil lawsuits for compensation.
