What makes Dr Cronin different?
I have been the patient! I needed urgent eye surgery when I was a medical student. Thankfully the surgery went very well and I maintained excellent vision – thanks to modern ophthalmology!! That’s why I became an ophthalmologist. I fell in love with the amazing technology and treatments we have available. But this means I know what it is like to be in your position.
Even better - I have had laser eye surgery! Yes - I believe in the safety and efficacy of the procedure so much that I have had it myself.
