RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS SUCKER-PUNCH VICTIM REGAINS SIGHT presser at Misericordia Health Centre. Photo of surgical retinal specialist Dr. Frank Stockl who repaired Thomas-Ljungberg’s right eye in October, describing the technical side of the surgery to reporters at press conference at MHC's Eye Care Centre Friday. Last June university student Brittney Thomas-Ljungberg’s right eye literally split open when she was sucker-punched in a random attack in the Exchange District. The emergency on-call ophthalmologist* repaired Thomas-Ljungberg’s eye that day and since then her journey to recovery has been with surgical retinal specialist Dr. Frank Stockl.
