Album Notes

Dr. Francis W. Price, Jr., founder of the Cornea Research Foundation of America (CRFA) wanted to find a way to reassure, inform, inspire and empower his patients who were considering surgery on their eyes. What better way to do that than to offer a collection of stories of patients who have already undergone surgery? Each of the unique stories resonates with the authenticity of the storyteller bringing hope, humor and encouragement to readers.

The book is divided into sections featuring the most common corneal disorders including Fuchs’ Dystrophy, keratoconus, as well as some unusual ones such as iris implants. Some of the patients were blind when they found Dr. Price and he was able to restore their sight using the latest technology and surgical interventions. They range in age from a 6 year old boy to patients in their 80's.
