"Dear Dr. Weinstock,
On February 17, 2010 you not only gave me better vision but an altogether better outlook on life in general.
You're generosity was overwhelming and came at a time in my life when I least expected anything positive to happen to me. I have been so happy with my vision that it has apparently affected other parts of my anatomy. I have been told that I have smiled more then ever. Thank You." - D.B.
"Dear Dr. Weinstock, Thank you for giving me 20/20 vision. You are a blessing to so many people." - C.B.
MY NEW WORLD
"Fuch's Dystrophy occurs when pump cells in the rear layer of the cornea no longer can remove excess fluid from the eye...Given that, Dr. Desai informed me that I was an excellent candidate for the DSAEK procedure as well as cataract surgery. I totally agreed with him and decided to have the surgery immediately."

"The next day, as they put the eye chart on the wall and asked could I see anything, I broke down and cried as for the first time in longer then I could remember I could see the ”E” and five lines below it. I would like to state if anyone has any apprehensions about the cataract procedures, please feel assured that the Staff of the Eye Institute will make it a good experience for you.
Thank you all very much for all your understanding and care. And, I can never thank you enough for giving me back my sight!!” - A. W.

Dr. Drexler was on-call Thursday evening when I experienced a concern. He responded immediately, putting me at ease and called on July 4th to inquire of my condition. Treatment such as this is hard to find.” - B. D.
“I have received treatment from Dr. Schwartz for glaucoma for many years. Dr. Schwartz detected a problem and immediately had me see Dr. Kirsch. Because I was in very early stages of macular degeneration, (I was) immediately given injections which have been successful.
