Woman, 80, goes blind in one eye after series of hospital appointments were cancelled during pandemic

• Janet Harris, 80, lost sight in her right eye after a year of missed appointments 
• She had seen doctors about pressure in the eye in 2019 but Covid cancelled follow-ups
• Janet finally got an appointment in 2021 but was told nothing could be done to save her vision in the eye
• It capped off a wretched year where she had also lost her husband Kenneth, 81
