Tar 'Speaker 'Reveals Amazing Experience Sight Restored From Corneal Transplant Members - of Port Perry Lions Club will long remember their meeting of February 17, 1969.-On that occasion they had the privilege of listening to Mr. Bruce Anderson of Peterborough - talk - about Cornea . Transplants. No one is more qualified to speak on this subject than Mr. Anderson, who has 'received| . two successful transplants. -. October 23rd, 1965 was to have been a big day for the Anderson family. On October, 22nd his mother, who had undergone several operations for cancer, passed a six year medical check-up without any signs of .recurrance of the disease. On this same day Mr. Anderson received a prom- otion at work and an increase in salary. October 23rd was his mother's birthday and a big celebration was planned. But on the morning of the 23rd Mr. Anderson awoke to find himself totally blind. For years he had known that the condition of his eyes was such that this might happen, but suggenly, and without warn- ing, it had happened. Mr. Anderson 'said that his name was placed on the bot- tom of a waiting list of approx- imately four hundred who were hoping to have their sight restored by means of a cornea transplant, For months he was forced to live with the frightening possibility that he might never see again. In February of 1966 he received the first cornea trans- plant which restored: 20-26 vision to his 'right eye. One . year later he underwent a perfect. cornea - transplant which restored 20-20 vision to his left eye. Mr. Anderson will never cease to be grate- ful to two unknown donors who gave back to him one of life's most previous gifts - 'sight. For the first time in his life he now has normal vision. Dr. G.A. Thompson, Oph- thalmologist, who performed the two transplants, was a General Practitioner until he was 65 years of age. Now he is recognized as one of the three top men in his field in the world. : Mr. Anderson is a Tele- vision Newscaster, station CHEX-TV, Peterborough. He is Public Relations Director, Peterborough branch, -CNIB, and a Founding Member of "Corneal Club of Canada'. APPOINTMENT Mr. Kenneth R.
