At 44 years of age, I have rather suddenly lost some of my sight to some rare form of Retinitis Pigmentosa-though my doctor can't pin it down(first noticed less than 2 yrs ago and progressing somewhat to date). Artificial eyes? What fun- though I hope I don't need them. Thanks. I will definitely take a look at the company. Dan

Thanks- Steve- The kids just 80 years ago use to die as result of insulin dependent diabeties, their was no insulin discovered by then, here we are seeing unraveling of the greatest mysteries of nature. These companies you are referring are companies who have put smile on faces of parents like us and they work on the outer frontiers of research and development, it is due to this I always say God bless the country which encourages talent to flourish. Thanks..
