i'm down with OPMD yeah you know me

there is a great article in the new york times today about OPMD, ocularpharyngeal muscular dystrophy, which is one of rich's areas of concentration both in research and in practice. he has a paper in review for the ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery [journal] on the clinical treatment of such (from the ptosis side). he has a great love of this subject (he's been thinking about it since 1995, when he first started coming across patients here in new mexico) and was super duper psyched to see something on it in the NYX....take a look here!
