julie, i also had a vision problem from the patch. i noticed it in

the hospital--i couldn't read the morning after surgery. nurses

advised me to remove patch, and within a couple of hours it was

better and fine by next day.

Its so good to hear from you. Maggi and I have been wondering how you

are doing. Hopefully Dr. R will address the pupil problem. Looking

forward to hearing your progression.
