(CP) — About a year ago, Danielle Leblanc couldn't think of driving a car or shopping by herself. 5 The 24-year-old housewife was born with cornea dys- trophy, an eye disorder which had limited her vision. But with the help of two operations, Leblanc can see clearly again and do most of the things fully-sighted peo- ple take for granted. “Before surgery, I couldn't even go shopping by myself because I could not see de- tails,” she said. “It was like seeing through a frosted window.” Last November, Dr. Garth Taylor performed a double corneal graft on her left eye followed by another on her right eye in March at the Cornwall General Hospital. The operation involved re- placing the eye's old cornea with a new one. If the oper- ation is a success, the pati- ent’s sight comes back almost immediately and steadily im- proves. RUNS IN FAMILY Leblanc said she first be- gan having trouble with her eyes when she was five. Of the six children in-her family, three had the same disorder. Her brothers, Rene, 17, and Patrick, 19, will undergo similar surgery. “I must have seen at least 15 different doctors from the time I was five,” she said. “When I was 12, I was ad- mitted to hospital for surgery and after two weeks in hos- pital, the surgeon decided not to operate until I was 18.” “I had great difficulty typ- ing and playing the piano. I had to get very close to see the keyboard and read the script. “In two weeks, I am going to learn to drive. I have been waiting for this for a long, long time.” Leblanc said she was pre- pared to do almost anything to try to correct her eyesight. “The surgery has made a world of difference to me,” she said. “Because of my poor eyesight, I was beginning to lose confidence in myself. “The surgery has changed my life considerably. I now am planning to get a BA in psychology and start work- ing again. ‘Lady of the Year’ rther awards wins fu Alpha Phi Release Alpha Phi Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, recently con- gratulated Lucy Ellen Eaton on her latest poetry award, Last spring, Eaton entered © 2; an international writing con- test through an invitation from the president of the Re- public of Malta.
