“The purpose of the documentary is to explain to patients out there why it’s so important to have their eyes examined, and the importance of the eye... What people don’t realize is there’s a whole functional part of eye exams that you do to see how well the eyes work together, the whole learning and health aspects where people don’t realize until they have a problem.” – Dr. Kerry Gelb
