Hey y'all! My name is Laura Lee McCarthy. I am a third-year medical student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Heersink School of Medicine. I am from Dothan, Alabama, and graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2022 with a degree in Biomedical Sciences. A fun fact about me is that when I was in preschool, I had JXG of the eye and lost my vision in my left eye! Today, I have 20/20 vision in both eyes—that’s a long (and exciting!) story for another day! I am so excited to be a part of the Eye Tea Team!
