Judith looks as fragile as a flower. But inside, she's made of pure tempered steel. Her passion is to learn, then transfer new skills to eye doctors in developing countries creating a 'ripple effect' in a global sense. It's one of the reasons why I love her. - Philip J. Krueger B.S., M.S. This is the awe-inspiring, true-story of one petite, blonde eye surgeon traveling into the interior of Africa, Communist China, India, Nepal, Tibet, South-East Asia, Central America and elsewhere. As the goal of 'Vision 20/20' to eliminate cataract / glaucoma blindness rarely includes operating on children, Judith finds ways to do that. - Lieutenant George Casanova, SAFD, Sargent B Co. 2bn 7th Cavalry Division (Infantry) The events unfold in such an easy-to-follow manner; I felt like I was watching it all occur. Also, the Lessons Learned from her hosts, add greatly to a vivid and informative narrative, especially for anyone interested in doing medical missions abroad. - Ogugua Okonkwo (OG), M.D., FRCS, FWACS, FASRS, MSFT, Lagos, Nigeria This book opens our eyes to a world most of us have never experienced. It gives us joy when we see the photos of blind and/or disfigured patients before surgery, and their thankful smiles after surgery. We owe a debt of gratitude to those doctors who are willing to sacrifice their time and personal resources to make a difference for humanity. - Sheila S. Moore, B.A., M.A. Judith Newman, M.D. is a retired pediatric ophthalmologist, living in Helotes, Texas, with her husband, Philip Krueger, a retired engineer, who swims competitively and restores vintage British sports cars. Grace and Calvin, their affectionate, elderly cats, Phil's above and below-ground-turtle-tortoise preserve, and a wild fox are all part of the cheerful menagerie. In 2020, Judith published her first book, a true, passionate love story titled: Faster, Love, Run Faster. Judith and Phil bike, swim, do Pilates (Judith) and ballroom dance regularly. Judith's op-eds have been published in Helotes, Texas and in Napier, New Zealand. They attend Grace Christian Church in Helotes.
