When was this?  My aunt had it when it first came out in the US. She paid out of pocket as insurance still considered it experimental.  It took quite awhile for her eyes to adjust and she ended up needing reading glasses anyway.

My sister had it, covered by insurance and she has no problems. 

Of course, Nigeria may not be as advanced as the US. I know nothing about their medical system or if they even have one.

I am led to believe that the care at these eye clinics in Lagos, the major city, is very good. It is more 'hit and miss' in the regional areas. The amount required by Fr Chigbata is around AUD$10,000.00, a significant sum. We have received very little help from our appeals for the Nigerian Resistance in the past and it has been largely a few souls who have borne the burden of expenses. I hope this appeal arranged by Fr Ortiz will bear greater fruit and find some generous souls. Please give whatever you can. All the widows' mites add up.
