Description

On Wednesday the 20th of September, I will be receiving a new cornea for my right eye. This surgical procedure follows nearly 7 years of rapidly advancing Keratoconus. While I was doing some looking on the net for more information about Corneal Transplants I found that quite a few people have chronicled their transplant story. In fact, this link was very informative. Of particular interest to me was that Larry Wall and Mandy Patinkin have also had corneal transplants. Larry Wall is the founder of the programming language Perl while Mandy Patinkin is best known (at least to me) for the immortal line, “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
