I am happy to hear this was available to her and it was successful. Anything with the vision can be so frightening but the good thing is there is so much more they can do these days. Thanks for the update. Sandy

Amazing they can do such things.
I hope it continues to go well.
On the food for thought / risk reduction etc DHA is KEY to eyesight. It is the primary fat used at the business end the rods etc
You will find lots of trials in that general direction for many conditions of vision.
As usual of course please discuss with medical advisors.
