あらすじ・解説

This beautifully written biography charts the life of Dr. Cynthia J. MacKay, a wife, a mother, a surgeon, and a lifelong activist campaigning against the cruel, painful, damaging invasive corrective eye surgery LASIK. It is written with modesty. It is engaging, witty, and sometimes painful to listen to as it describes the discrimination, smear campaigns, and brutal conduct of her peers and others who have tried to ruin her in their own act of self-preservation. Cynthia battles through it all, with dignity, determination, and an abundance of wit, humor and humility.

The book is best summed up by this single quote:

"I was utterly enchanted by this wonderful biography. The style is so lively I could not bear to put it down. It is full of generous insights into other people. The focus on how a girl acquires the skills she will need as a surgeon adds suspense ."Ann (Nanno) C. Bienstock, Author, "Stories"

Cynthia has dedicated her life to healing sick eyes. After retiring from practice, she threw herself into a crusade to tell the truth about LASIK. She financed and co-authored a book, "The Unsightly Truth of Laser Vision Correction: LASIK Surgery Makes Healthy Eyes Sick", written with Morris Waxler (former head of the FDA committee that approved LASIK), Paula Cofer (one of millions of LASIK-damaged patients) and Ed Boshnick (optometrist). The book was published, and the movie was released, in April, 2024.

After Cynthia graduated from Harvard in 1964, she spent the next 9 years focusing on her husband and two children. She squeaked into medical school despite discrimination for her age (31), gender, and status as a mother. After completing an eye surgery residency and fellowship at the Harkness Eye Institute (where she was the fourth female resident), she went on to build a private practice, perform significant scientific eye research, teach at the prestigious Lancaster Course for 17 years, and become a Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology,
