[dba-Tech] Actually a wetware issue

[Ed Tesiny]

Listen to what folks are saying, it's a matter of sight or not.  For some
years I was missing a bit because of cataracts but also had glaucoma
problems. That's corrected now.  Go see an ophthalmologist, not an
optometrist, opthamologists are trained doctors who have done their
extensive residency in eye disease and treatment.  Sight is not a thing to
waste.
