Open Letter to Patients

I remember distinctly the exact time when I knew that I wanted to be an ophthalmologist. It was June 2007, and I had just completed a ten-day medical mission trip to Guatemala, where we served over 2000 patients. These patients came to our clinic seeking something very foreign to them: medical care. I recall one elderly man, blinded by cataracts, who took the arduous journey of over eight hours from the Guatemalan hills, with his grandson holding his hand, guiding each step. Upon entering the patient room with the general surgeon, we had to apologize to this elderly man and his grandson, because there was no ophthalmologist at the facility, so we could not remove his cataracts. As the look of joyous hope turned to despairing sadness, the grandfather communicated through tear-filled eyes that all he wanted to do was to see the sunrise one last time, behold the beauty of nature, and look into the eyes of his grandson. As they left, I felt an overwhelming sense of compassion, as I would have given anything to have been able to help him that day.

This story resonates with me, because I see this elderly man in every single one of the patients that I treat on a daily basis. Whether it be people who come in that are not able to experience life to their fullest because of their cataracts, or blinded because of their near-sightedness or astigmatism. I love being able to offer solutions to YOU for these conditions, and see that look of joy come across your face when you discover that there is a cure, that you can live life with clear, crisp vision.

These moments are even more special to me when I get to provide them for my family. My mother just recently had laser cataract surgery, and can now see 20/15 at distance, and read her book without the need of reading glasses. She describes her vision as like how it was when she was 20 years old. My sister, who was blinded by her nearsightedness since she was 3 just recently had EVO ICL procedure performed on her, and she can now see 20/10 without the aid of glasses or contacts and describes everything in her world being in HD. These stories happen all the time with my patients, and I feel very blessed and fortunate to be able to share these moments with you.

As a LASIK and cataract eye surgeon, I daily witness patients and family members frustrated by loss of eyesight due to cataracts, or the debilitation from needing to be dependent upon prosthetic eyewear. Such experiences always bring me back to my experiences in Guatemala, but now, instead of telling this grandfather and grandson that there is nothing we can do, I can now say, “There is something that I can do … I can help you.”

Sincerely,

Dr. Brett Mueller
