Bob Neese

Patient's Story:

I got this really colorful right eye on a cold winter’s day, as the result of picking up a heavy gate to open as I stood against it, leaning into it a bit. The gate came off the top hinge, the bottom hinge turned and the gate flopped over and I flopped with it. There was nothing to break the fall until the right side of my head and eye hit ground that was frozen solid...

Angela Neese

Patient's Story:

My wife, Angela, and I were preg checking cows when she got her black eye. She was bringing them through the tub and up the alley. As she gave a push on the crowd gate, a cow kicked it right back at her, hitting her hard enough to make her woozy and require lying down for a while with an ice pack on her forehead and eye plus a couple of Ibuprofen.
