Visian ICL Gives Homeless Blind Man Gift of Sight and Hope

The holiday season is known as the season of giving, and Dr. Paul Dougherty - a Los Angeles Ophthalmologist - lent new meaning to those words when he gave a homeless man back not just his sight, but also his hope.

46-year-old Willie Bell, a homeless man in Los Angeles, was legally blind. Even with his glasses, the world was fuzzy and his eyesight was so bad he wasn’t eligible for a driver’s license. Willie attributed much of his misfortune- including his inability to get a job, which resulted in his homelessness- to his inability to see.
