ABSTRACT
When I was only a few weeks old my mother realized that I couldn’t see. For the next eight months she and my father went from doctor to doctor searching for answers. At last their quest led them to one of the leading eye specialists in New York City. He confirmed everything they had already heard by that time-my blindness was complete, irreversible, and of unknown origin. He also gave them some sound advice. They should stop taking me to doctors and give up looking for a cure. Instead they should help me lead the fullest life possible. Fortunately for me, his prescription matched their best instincts.
