“Years ago I got a call from a friend who was an optician in Virginia. He knew that I made and fit prosthetic contact lenses and needed help with a patient. The patient turned out to be a racehorse which was being sold for stud and had damaged an eye on some barbed wire. I flew down there and was able to make a prosthetic lens for the horse.” — Chris G., Inver Grove Heights, MN
