Bio

Dr. Duffin comes to us from Hemet, California, a beautiful city just southwest of Palm Springs, where he has been a successful ophthalmologist in private practice for 25 years. In addition to his private practice experience, Dr. Duffin brings an extraordinary record of international ophthalmology to the Moran Eye Center. He has participated in 17 service trips to foreign countries, sponsored by his church or nonprofit groups such as Deseret International Foundation. In past trips, he performed free eye surgeries for patients who couldn't afford such care in clinics. He also trained doctors in sight-saving surgery techniques. He has performed surgeries on nine trips to El Salvador, two to Guatemala, two to Chile, two to Zimbabwe, and one to the Republic of Georgia.

Very impressed with everyone at the facility. Would definitely recommend Dr. Duffin and the Moran Eye Center to anyone who needed excellent eye care!

January 10, 2013

There was little to discuss; glasses aren't going to help much and conditions aren't to a point that anything should be done other than glasses (i.e. cataracts and macular degeneration both due to age). And, I don't think the glaucoma test was done this time.
