Grandmother Margaret Adams was watching television with her family members when somebody suddenly set off firecrackers nearby. The next day, she realized that Suzy’s eyes had changed in color. A visit to the nearby vet revealed that she had damaged a lens in her eyes. The vet removed them but then she developed glaucoma in her eyes and went blind.
