      Dr. Mifflin did a great job with the transplant last summer. It let more light into my L eye, which improved my overall vision somewhat. I have nothing for praise for the eye specialists that I have been seeing for the last two decades at the Moran.

      Very informative and thorough at explaining my options. I was planning at having both eyes done at once but after explaining pros and cons he left it up to me and I decided to do just one eye. Highly recommend Dr. Mifflin.
