Dear Doctor N. Senduran,
Thank you ever so much for your prompt and valued reply. It really has eased our minds since I would never want my husband to have damage to his eyesight. I had considered driving back to our home in Pennsylvania for the drops.
Thank you again and may God bless you richly. Sincerely,
XXXXXXX XXXX
