I’m taking vacation this week from Local Eye Site. I was very fortunate to get the opportunity to come over to Scotland with my brother in law Bobby, and play some of the world’s oldest and most amazing golf courses. As a guy with the last name, McCorkle, it doesn’t get much better than that!
Just before we left, Bobby contracted a case of conjunctivitis, or “pink eye” from his 8 month old son. He talked to his eye doctor and was prescribed some drops to treat it. Fortunately, his eye responded well, and Bobby’s golfing ability wasn’t impeded (at least because of his eye that is).
Wouldn’t you know it; during our first round of golf in Scotland, my eye started feeling weird. Yep, you guessed it, I had picked up Bobby’s pink eye. Fortunately, Bobby had multiple bottles of the drops, and he gave one to me. Thank goodness, disaster was averted, as my eye also responded well to the drops (except for that birdie putt I missed on 14, that was my eye’s fault). The point I’m trying to over dramatically make is that we serve a wonderful industry. Pink eye isn’t the end of the world, but what would I have done without the wonderful advancements in eye care. The eye care industry has created procedures and pharmaceuticals that allow us to treat conditions that once would have been disasterous.
Carry on eye care professionals. Job well done!
