Jessyca Demarco, 68, was a patient of Dr. Michael Y. Wong of The Princeton Eye Group in Princeton for more than 20 years when in February 2019 he referred her to a colleague who specialized in glaucoma treatment, according to her attorneys, Adam M. Slater and Adam M. Epstein of Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman. But Demarco alleged that by that time it was already too late, and that the delay caused her to suffer permanent, partial loss of sight in her right eye.
