I've also enjoyed six eye surgeries, from detached retinas to cornea transplants. Not a doctor but I have been a pincushion for many.
There is no way those soft rolls “cause” a cornea detachment without a major preexisting condition. Still, as we have seen, the expenses of a lawsuit get paid by the deepest pockets.
Judge should award medical costs and nothing for the lawyers.

I wondered about that myself. I’m not a doctor either, but I am a lawyer who started his career in insurance defense. If Lambert’s is found liable, a possible pre-existing condition won’t matter. Under our tort system, generally speaking, a wrongdoer must take his victim as he is found. This is an old principle of law that is sometimes called the “Eggshell Skull Rule” and it is applicable in strict liability, negligence, and intentional tort cases.
