"Our client’s opticians failed to diagnose glaucoma during a routine eye test, with the result that treatment was delayed by 18 months resulting in permanent deterioration of vision in both eyes. He received a settlement of £150,000 to compensate him for his loss of vision and consequentially reduced earning capacity”
