Gentlemen, an update on my left eye. The swilling has decreased by 50% since my visit 6 weeks ago. Without a lens I was seeing 20/200, I could read the big E and the next line down. My surgeon was very pleased, he said at 2 1/2 months I am where most folks are at 6 months.

Development is one of the constants in life whether you're a leader or not. The day you stop developing is the day they plant you in the ground, and in some cases even that can debatable. .
