Fantastic video! Let us know IOP and VA pre- and postop. :-)

Mission impossible? Was he 20/20 at the end? Lots of Hollywood glitz and no conclusion.

it would be interesting to know clinical ending features after all surgical procedures... basically, what was the final VA and IOP ?

Please avoid doing more of these videos with the theme music. Cute for the first 30 seconds then rather painful. Get to the point.

the lack of a va at the end makes me suspect that the vision is hand motion. oh well. but i admire the skill and the surgeon is commended for a very nice-looking eye. and the music is great, of course- what a great theme.

Great video! How in the world did this patient get sent out looking like that from Ukraine?
