Vasilis Makris, M.D., P.C. Diseases and Surgery of the Eve 288-1935 3300 W Purdue Avenue Questions & Answers for Dr. Makris

Q. I had cataract surgery 6 months ago, with good results, but my vision seems to have worsened recently. I again started seeing halos around lights at night, and things are blurry. I was told I am going to need some laser work to improve my vision. Can you please explain? A. After the cataract is removed, and the implant is placed into the eye, scar tissue can form behind the implant and cause symptoms very similar to the symptoms caused by a cataract. It is a relatively simple matter to create an opening in the center of that scar tissue behind the implant. The laser we use, is called a Yag laser, and it has tremendously simplified the management of this problem, which used to necessitate going back into the operating room to manually create an opening in that membrane. Dr. Makris is pleased to announce the completion of his new onsite Surgery Center, Muncie Cataract & Laser Eye Center. We are now able to provide a full range of eye care needs from routine exams to surgery, all at one convenient location.

Murray pens provocative Christian novel

Temptation By Victoria Christopher Murray Warner Books, Inc., with Walk Worthy Press African American couple Kyla, and her husband, Dr. Blake Jefferson, have it all. Indeed, they have a wonderful marriage, a beautiful daughter, a dream home, a loving family, caring friends and, generally, interesting lives. Above all, their Christian faith has always proved to be a remarkable bond, enhancing their lives together. Yes, things were going very well for the prominent southern California couple. Temptation is the debut novel of author Murray and Walk Worthy Press, a Christian publishing company founded by African American literary agent, now publisher, Denise L. Stinson. I found Temptation to be a refreshing alternative and honest voice for contemporary issues. The writer weaves a story that is believable, relevant, provocative and enlightening, without being preachy or profane. It fills a void for African American women and writers in particular.

The reality of its characters, male and female, helps to shape a redemptive story, with twists and turns, challenges and choices, interests and insights. Murray’s writing style is crisp and to the point. I appreciate such a well-defined story of highly commercial merit, yet written without offensive verbiage. The author consistently intermingled real answers to real life dilemmas, based on spiritual truth. Revealing the intricacies of faith and friendship, the complexities of forgiveness and betrayal and the ultimate victory of unconditional love, Temptation is a must read for the young, as well as adults of any ethnic group. There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about Temptation. I think it will prove to be a good book for male and female readers looking for a fresh voice in the fiction novel genre. The 353-page Temptation sells for $19.95. It is available in book stores, online and at your local library. Needless to say, it is a welcome addition to the literary arena. —By Judy Mays
