"Give Back the Light is a tremendous achievement. James C. Moore
weaves a wrenching personal account of his struggle to save the
sight in his right eye with the history and accomplishments of
legendary eye surgeon and innovator, Dr. Steve Charles. The book
combines brilliant storytelling and a testament to one of the great
minds in eye surgery with questions about where the divide lies
between patient and physician responsibility. This book is a
mesmerizing dive into the recent history of eye surgery and the
journey of one patient."
--Mary Pauline Lowry, author, Wildfire
"James Moore has written a truly original book about hope and
discovery--the story of one man's search to save his sight and a
remarkable doctor whose gift for invention and skills as a surgeon
have helped restore vision to millions. The author writes about
astonishing medical procedures with clarity and precision, deeply
reported and rich in detail. And he uncovers the little-known
history of medical giants in pursuit of the impossible. This is a
profound book, both poignant and exhilarating, and readers will
come away with the knowledge that Moore has taken them somewhere
totally new."
--Wayne Slater, Writer Emeritus, Dallas Morning News
"James Moore sneaks a comprehensive education into an intimate and
inspiring true story of one man's greatest passion intersecting
with another man's greatest fear. A poignant and compelling journey
of discovery about the mysteries of human vision, technology, and
the relentlessness of hope."
--Kristen Tsetsi, author, The Age of the Child
"Retina surgeons are the crème de la crème in the realm of
ophthalmology. Steve Charles stands right at the top of that
pyramid. Moore does a masterful job of combining his compelling
personal struggle as a patient with clear explanations of eye
structures, ophthalmic procedures, and the innovative techniques
and instruments that Dr. Charles has developed to preserve our
precious vision. As someone who has covered the momentous
achievements of the retina community for almost two decades, it is
a joy to see the accomplishments of this wondrous eye surgeon
finally celebrated."
--Jerry Helzner, News Editor, Retinal Physician Magazine
"This remarkable book combines Jim Moore's battle to keep the
vision in his right eye with a highly readable explanation of the
history and intricacies of eye surgery (proliferative vitreo
retinopathy, anyone?). It's a profile of a modern medical hero: Dr.
Steve Charles, who also happens to be an engineer, an ace inventor,
and a jet-airplane pilot. It's easy to be cynical about today's
world. This is a book about an inspirational doctor who has saved
the eyesight of thousands, or perhaps millions, of people. It will
open your eyes to the beauty, the miracle of seeing."

Innovation Keeps Proving the Catastrophists Wrong
