What is required of the one-eyed person if he pulls out the sound eye of another

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “If the one-eyed person intentionally pulls out the sound eye of another that is similar to his own sound eye, he is liable for the full blood money, and there is no retaliation.”

The Shaykh:
Because if he pulls out an eye that is not similar, there is no retaliation at all, because similarity is a condition for retaliation. But the difficult case is if he pulls out an eye similar to his own sound eye; in principle, retaliation is obligatory, but in this case, retaliation is not carried out, because it would result in the loss of all his sight, since one eye serves the function of two. Yes.

He says in his statement, “he is liable for the full blood money,” why is the blood money for a single eye not half the blood money? As for

The Shaykh:
…the loss of all sight, and you have taken it that if all sight is lost, he is liable for the full blood money. It appears that you do not understand what is being said, you.
