Patient Reviews
Sep 09, 2022
I was told by many ophthalmologist there was nothing to do to save my vision due to a broken capsule during a cataract lens surgery. I had five years of opinions that would have left me blind. Yes, they were from ophthalmologist. Finally, Dr. Judith Kirby of Dallas, Texas found Dr. Koch who restored my vision to 20/20. Be careful and find a good doctor.
