Back To the Eye Foundation Hospital

Back to the Eye Foundation Hospital By Elton Camp It’s great to be able to see much better now The surgeon replaced my old lenses somehow Now, sagging eyelids, like lots of ugly old men Are causing me to need to go there today again Drooping eyelids the visual field overrides And you can’t see to the top or the sides The final results are likely to look okay But ugly, black stitches will the work betray My wife looked like the “Bride of Frankenstein,” The time to look so scary has come to be mine But so that little children I won’t have to scare, I have some black glasses that I plan to wear

This development, including the new ophthalmology unit, represents a significant $27 million investment in improving health care for the people of Auckland.
