In the wake of the untimely death of Apple computer founder Steve Jobs, Dale K Heuer MD, chairman and professor of ophthalmology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, US, reported on some of the firm’s contributions to medicine as well as a real breakthrough for ophthalmologists – the recent availability of classic Beatles songs on iTunes. Glaucoma specialists’ favorites include “Trabby Road,” “Strawberry Visual Fields Forever” and “Blue Eyes Yellow Submarine.”
Dr Heuer, speaking at the recent meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmololgy in Orlando, Florida ended his tribute with a rendition of the immortal “Yesterday”:
Yesterday.
Loss of vision seemed so far away
Then I had trabeculecto-may
Oh, how I long for Yesterday.
Suddenly
My vision’s half of what it used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh vision loss came suddenly.
Why I needed more flow
I don’t know
She wouldn’t ne say
My field had something wrong
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday
Faking drops was such an easy game to play
Now my vision has all gone away.
Oh how I long for yesterday
