I had extensive laser surgery of my retina and sclera in my right eye in August ~ by a guy who did what the researchers report in this piece.
Today, just short of 2 years after the first eye problem I had my latest eye check up and so far NO GLACOMA ~ something frequently found after this sort of surgery ~ in the past. Everything is still in place; capillaries and veins all in good shape; cornea clear, sclera right color; no floaters, etc.
These guys care ~ and new uses and standards for laser surgery get tighter, better, more advanced.
Odds are good that many of you reading this piece and working your way through the referenced documents will have your vision preserved by a young man or woman using this piece of science.
Added this piece to BUSINESS because this work will extend the working life of millions of men and women in this country.

Anything about Macular Degeneration, Macular occlusions?
I worked on the predecessor laser to this one. It is good to hear that people are getting positive results. Sometimes in the midst of trying to create useful stuff I get lost in the details and forget the much bigger picture.
Thanks for the article
