2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Sot., Nor. 19, 1949 Operation Has Likely Saved Last Eye Of Family PORTLAND P) The Hodg don family likely will save lis one good "ye, An operation "apparently suc cessful has been completed on the right eye of Mary Hope Hodg don, 12. Her left eye Is sightless, both her parents are blind, and Mary Hope's right eye is the family's guide. That eye was threatened with blindness through an unusual af fliction known medically as "to tal dislnsertlon of the retina." Under It, the retina the Image receiving film becomes loosen ed, Its edges curl back, and sight is gone. A spokesman at the Elk' eye clinic of the University of Ore gor medical school, where the operation was performed, said once the retina had become de tached, there was no known way of restoring vision. Mary Hope lost the sight of her left eye that way. Her mother, Mrs. Lee Hodgdon, has been blind since childhood for the same reason. Her father lost his sight in a 1926 logging camp explosion. Early this year cysts were not ed near the edges of the retina of Mary Hope's good eye. That meant, surgeons decided, that blindness was in store unless something could be done. What has been done, in a two- art operation just completed, as been to cause a series of tinv Irritations with a fine needle around the edges of the retina. These irritations in healing ad- nere to me eye and in effect weld the retina in place. A clinic spokesman said 20 minutes after the operation was completed, "It appears success ful but we won't know for sure until about 10 days. There were no immediate complications such as hemorrhage. The eye is band aged and wt don't dare look in side for some 10 days." "But," he added, "we think her sight is saved."
