Katherine,

I learned of this new drug and treatment in a conversation with my eye surgeon's nurse. They, the whole staff, is very excited about the possibilities. My surgeon, Dr. Ositinsky, is highly regarded in this area. Several other doctors have told me that they think he can walk on water. I mentioned that to "Dr. O," and he laughed and said that if he did that, someone would just complain that "he couldn't swim!"

Beyond saving my sight in my eye, I think he's one heck of good person. And, talk about skills! One week after my surgery, and my eyeball looked like a piece of chewed up hamburger, I complained because one of the stitches was too long and was scratching. He grabbed a pair of small scissors, said "Don't move," and went between the eyeball and the inside of the eyeball housing, and just snipped the end off. Talk about steady hands. And NO, I didn't move a muscle!

I do hope that this thread gives some hope and encouragement to others. CHEERS, Bob
