Hi, Kate:
If you look on this board, in September of 1996, there is a post by Jake on Eye Surgeries that describes the various types of surgical treatments for your problem. To get there, when you enter the main board, instead of choosing “last three days” scan down that menu and select “range below”. Then set the dates in the range for the board to September 1 through 30, 1996.
There is a Mayo Clinic web site that also deals with the eye disease and treatments. I’m not certain of the entire web address but I think you can get there with the first part of it, and then move through the various choices — http://www.mayo.edu/Mayo_Ophtho/
I hope this helps.
