Quoting%20commentary for Bava Kamma 167:16

מאי חזית דילפת תחת תחת משור נילף תחת תחת מאדם דכתיב (שמות כא, כג) ונתת נפש תחת נפש מה להלן ממש אף כאן ממש

but not 'life and eye for eye'. Now if you assume that actual retaliation is meant, it could sometimes happen that eye and life would be taken for eye, as while the offender is being blinded, his soul might depart from him. But what difficulty is this? perhaps what it means is that we have to form an estimate,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Whether the offender would stand the operation or not. ');">¹¹</span>
