Rose Baca has undergone two corneal transplants – one eye in 1989, the other in 1990 – and although those who gave her back her sight remain anonymous, she knows both transplanted corneas came from male donors.
“I thought maybe I would see the world with the viewpoint of a man,” she said with a chuckle. “But no, that didn’t happen.”
She’s joking, of course. But not about nearly losing her sight.
“Before the corneal transplant, it was like someone had put sandpaper to my eyes,” said Baca, 59, a retired 911 operator for the Albuquerque Police Department. “Without my vision, I wouldn’t have been able to work or do anything.”
I see her point.
