According to doctors at University Medical Center, 86-year-old Leroy Luetscher accidentally lost his balance and fell on the gardening tool, causing half of it to become lodged in his eye socket. Amazingly, surgeons were able to extract the shears without harming the eye or any other “vital structure.”
UMC eye specialist Dr. Lynn Polonski says Luetscher is suffering from slight swelling and the happiest case of double vision ever.
