Dr. Murphy: A few months ago, I was preparing to deliver a lecture/educational seminar to a group of residents at a nursing home. I stood in the hallway reading over my notes. I was dressed in a suit with a stick on name badge that said my name and below it, Optometrist. I was waiting […]
I’m sure I could have used a safer title for my maiden post – we’re talking about itchy EYES here, folks! As I was driving with my wife and two boys the other day, Cindy pointed out that bits of green were starting to appear on the fields that we passed. This, along with my […]
