David Dougherty, 62, had lost his sight almost completely as the aftermath of a rare disease,* which destroys the lacrimal glands producing the watery fluid that lubricates the eyeballs. For two days Dougherty sat in bed with increasing impatience. The doctor had told him he could expect to see again soon after the operation. Still no tears came.
