CATARACT REMOVED NOW SEEING AGAIN!
|
This man had a ptyerigium, or a
growth of tissue growing over the
eye that leads to blindness. The
surgeons removed the growth.
From the look on her face, this
woman was very happy to
receive a pair of glasses;
something of a luxury in
countries like the Dominican
Republic.
