'And that she does not know what the future has in store for her and lacks that they can do the fundamental things that they once considered as a matter of course.
“I cheer her. She must now be almost blindly confronted, not to mention the psychological trauma that she has endured without guilt.
“The four women are now rightly confronted with the consequences of their behavior.”
All four women argue guilty of Affray and Toni and Ellie plead guilty of injury with the intention of causing serious physical injury.
The group was convicted of York Crown Court on 7 March.
Toni was imprisoned for eight years and Ellie was sentenced to seven years and three months in a Young Offenders Institute.
Abbie received a conditional punishment and their friend, Tania was imprisoned for a year.
Mr. Thompson added: 'This shocking and not led attack has changed the victim's life forever, not only she has lost most of her vision, she has to trust her family to do the simplest tasks.

“The four defendants had the guts to claim that it was out of character because they were drunk.
“There is simply no excuse for what they did and the least they could do was to argue with this disgusting act of non -losing violence.”
The victim praised the emergency services in her victim impact statement.
She thanked the police, the ambulance service, the hospital, specialists and nursing staff who brought me through the worst time of my life.
