Before I moved to Spokane, I had cataract surgery in Seattle that left me with a blurry eye. My MD told me to go to Dr. Gillette in Seattle, and got a corneal transplant. Wonderful result. But transplants don't last forever, and when I moved to Spokane 13 years ago, I needed a new cornea. Dr. Brandt said I was too old at 72, and told me to use a certain ointment that further reduced my vision. Now, 13 years later, I am literally blind in that eye and every other ophthalmologist I've seen says I need a corneal transplant. Getting one in November.
