Lizzie was a veteran who had lost one eye in the war and had diminished vision in the other because of shrapnel. Pete called Amelia in for a consult. They hoped she'd be able to remove the shrapnel to restore full vision to Lizzie's functional eye. Amelia ran some scans and said that the shrapnel was pressing up against the optic nerve.
