Winnipeg women recovers sight in eye badly damaged in random attack
WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg woman who lost her site in one eye last June from a vicious random attack can now see almost perfectly after multiple surgeries.
Brittney Thomas-Ljungberg, 29, was all smiles Friday as she described the joy of being able to see out of her right eye that was split open by a sucker punch from a stranger as she was walking with her boyfriend.
“I can see,” she said. “Which is 100 times better than what was the original diagnosis of like, ‘Hey you’re going in for surgery you might not have your eye when you come back out.’”
She suffered a global rupture, a torn retina and damage to the eye lens.
