So, Mr. Sebastian, could you tell us about today's experience? How was it for you? Because this is the first time, this has been done to my eyes, so I think it's alright, it's no problem. I feel only something a little bit when they put, because they removed my cataract by machine, with the bodily, I know I feel a little bit, but that's normal you know. But I'm very happy they've done very well, that's all I can tell you. They've done very well. Now I'm telling you now, my right eye is very good to see, compared to my left eye. Very good. That's very different now. You see, before if I wear the glasses, that's the only time I can see, but now even though without the glass my right eye see that I'm telling you that example I can read it now. Very good. But when I use my left eye I can't read anything over there so it's perfect it's very nice very good. And what advice would you give a future patient who's going to have the same operation what advice would you give them? So if you have a cut around to make it worse It's better every year to do the operation. Okay. That's I can tell. Yeah. So, I mean, if it is only blood, I mean, not too much. It's very easy to remove. It's going to take time for the doctor to remove your cataract. Yeah. If compared to all cataract put already in your eyes, it's very hard for them. Yeah. It takes time too to remove it. But, you see, in my situation, I think that because my contract is not truly full, it's only, let us say, live. So, it's very easy for them to remove me. It doesn't take time to stay in that operation group. And another last question is, is there anything that you experienced today which you didn't expect? No, no, I tell you, this is my first time. That's why, when they finish the operation, the only thing I can tell you is, I am totally very happy. Very, very happy. That's the only thing I can tell you. And I'm very, thank you very much, Dr. Ferguson, what they have done to me. That's why before I leave the operating room, I say to all the staff, all of you, thank you very much. Especially to you, Dr. Ferguson. That's it. Okay. Well, thank you and we wish you a speedy recovery. You're welcome. And thank you for helping us today. Yeah. Thank you very much too. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Okay.
