Travel as far as it takes to get the best.
If Houston is the best, do not think twice about it.
Do not horse around with your eyes.

I have a long painful story as well.

I had a botched routine cataract surgery by a bad surgeon who was well respected locally.
I could barely see and was in severe pain, you know what I am talking about.

I went to other so called experts who would not correct the problem because it was too complicated,
or one who made it worse. I was desperate.

I finally found a world class university eye surgeon 2 hours away who had pioneered many new eye surgeries.
I went to see him and his waiting room had patients from all over the world to see him, who had flown in.

We all waited 2 to 4 hours to see this doctor every visit, and we would have gladly slept in sleeping bags if we had to
wait overnight.

This doctor was a genius, and the nicest man you can imagine. He took his time with patients.
And in a calm low key way cured them.

I had series of 7 small surgeries, I was ecstatic, I could see and was pain free.

I would travel to another country to see him if I had to.

You only have one set of eyes.

Go to Houston and thank God there is a expert doctor relatively close to you.
Do not fart around with less than the best.
