Rameshwaram Cafe blast: One injured may lose eyesight, three discharged

One person injured in Friday’s (March 1) blast may lose her eyesight due to extensive damage to the eyes. Among the nine who are injured, three have been discharged from hospital. 

Nagashree, 35, who was at the restaurant at the time of the incident, suffered injuries to the retina and it is unlikely that she may get her eyesight back. Kalpana, Medical Director of the Vydehi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, told The Hindu she may lose sight due to extensive damage to the retina and the doctors are working hard to fix the eyes. 

Another doctor from the hospital said two injured have been discharged and they have been identified as Srinivas and Mohan. They also sustained burn injuries. The doctor said another two injured will also be discharged in a day or two and they have been kept under observation.
