Commentary for Kiddushin 48:18
א"ר ששת הרי שהיתה עינו סמויה וחטטה עבד יוצא בהן לחירות מ"ט מחוסר אבר הוא
Hence both are necessary. Our Rabbis taught: If his master is a doctor and he asks him to paint his eye [with an ointment], and he blinds him,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Accidentally.');"><sup>33</sup></span> [or] to dril his tooth, and he knocks it out, he laughs at his master and goes out free.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
According to R. Sheshet, even if the eye is already blind, if the master removes it, the slave goes free.
