      I like the time Dr Handa gave and the info he shared. It'll be a good thing someday when drs at Wilmer also acknowledge the role of integrative health practices in eye health rather than waiting 50 years for the New England J of medicine to finally catch up. But that's a blind spot of even the most well training Hopkins Drs.
