Patient Reviews
Jul 25, 2024
I am 64 years old and have had a wandering eye my whole life. My right eye ball faced outward. I had several surgeries for it in the past and Dr. McDonnell removed lots of scar tissue and straightened my eye. Now both of my eyes face forward and my double vision is gone. I never noticed how green my eyes are. I always avoided loving my eyes because I was ashamed how I looked. Thank you Dr. McDonnell. You have truly made a difference in my life.
