Experimental

About a half hour prior to Zoey's eye surgery, a doctor asked if we'd be interested in pursuing a trial ROP alternative that calls for an injection rather than laser surgery.

With only a half hour to decide, and no Web access to research the procedure, we deferred to the doctor, who assured us it was the latest ROP advancement that features less risk than laser surgery.

We'll know if the procedure worked within a week or so, although studies haven't yet determined the longer term risks or complications.

At some point, you just get the feeling everyone is winging it.
