Grateful: Lance shares emergency and outcome

Lance Burton is sharing his story to let fans know he is healing, to say thanks, and also to let everyone know of a serious eye symptom to watch out for.

On Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at 6am he had emergency eye surgery for a torn or detached retina. The surgery was completely successful and he says he is grateful to live in a country that has such great doctors and surgeons.

Lance writes, "My surgeon was Dr. Inder P Singal. He and his entire team were fantastic. It was an emergency surgery, because if it didn't happen quickly I would be blind in my right eye within a short period of time. That said, it was an out-patient procedure. I walked into the surgery center at 6:00am and walked out at 7:30am! I am now recuperating at home.


"I also want to thank our local eye doctor, Dr Jacob Burton and his entire staff. They saw me on short notice on Monday afternoon. He took one look at my eye and said we need to get you into surgery immediately! He set it all up and the next thing you know I am on my way to Louisville. Also thank you to Dr Mattie Adams who stopped by to consult on her way home.

"Big thanks to my Brother-In-Law, James Curry, for driving me to Louisville and back home afterwards. Another adventure!

"Eta-Lyn stayed to watch Rocky and the cats. She even stayed a few extra days to keep an eye on me! No pun intended.

"So I am resting and recuperating. The vision in my right eye should come back soon. Right now it is foggy, but seems to be improving by the hour.

"I have a show in Hinton, Oklahoma in a little over two weeks. I will be there! Can't fly in a plane, but the tour bus should be fine. Rocky is excited too!

"This eye trouble started on the weekend. It was just a small spot at the bottom of my field of vision. The dead spot kept getting bigger. I wasn't that concerned. Turns out I should have been. It could have been catastrophic! The lesson is pay attention to warning signs!

"That's all for now from your favorite one eyed magician!"
