Well I believe my vision is very very slowly improving
because I read now w/o my glasses and I have always
kept them on no matter what. I go back to my neuro
opth next month and I will tell him there has to be
something that can be done. He is with the UT
Southwestern group in Dallas and they do all sorts of
research. I haven't talk to you in a while, aren't you
the school teacher? Well keep the faith.
