As a young patent lawyer in the early 1960s he went behind the Iron Curtain and brought back the metal sutures that gave birth to U.S. Surgical Corp. and the technology to make softcontact lenses.
While Obama was talking, Romney more frequently had an openness in his visage, often with a slight smile on his face and very soft eye contact. (Some may view the smile as a smirk, but that is the confirmation bias at play.) I noticed this frequently in the Republican presidential debates.
Schneck is also going after the vision business, laying claim to the treatment of contact lens surfaces, which determines the gas permeability of soft contacts.
