Dr Paul Rafuse is like the Gandalf of eyeballs—wise, calm, and somehow makes you feel like your vision is his personal quest. I came in seeing the world like a smudged watercolor painting and left spotting freckles on my cat. He’s got this mellow brilliance, explains things like he’s telling you a campfire story, and genuinely makes you feel like your sight matters. Halifax’s got a legend. My retinas are basically composing thank-you jazz solos.
