HE HAD A DREAM—

May His Dream Continue

I have a dream that one day, on the red hills of Georgia, some former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. —Address at the March on Washington, August 28,1963 The M uncie Housing Authority EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

Dr. Makris Answers Your Questions

Q. I have had a retinal detachment and have had a gas bubble placed in my eye to keep the retina attached. Is it safe for me to fly? A. A recent study examined how safe air travel is for patients that have had gas bubbles placed in their eyes, in pressurized as well as non-pressurized airplanes. The main concern is, that as the plant gains altitude, the bubble in the patient's eye may expand causing increased pressure in the eye. The study found that traveling by commercial airliner, which always has a pressurized cabin, poses no threat to the eye. It is therefore safe for patients that have had this type of surgery, to travel by commercial airliner.
