19/09/2023 Dublin, Ireland. Former professional rugby player, Ian McKinley, is pictured during his keynote speech at the Irish College of Ophthalmologists ‘Eye Care in Focus’ Conference (The Gibson Hotel on Tuesday 19th September). Ian lost vision in his left eye as a result of an on-pitch incident in 2010. Through incredible determination and resilience, and the development of special goggles to protect his right eye, he returned to the game following the incident, playing for Treviso in Italy and eventually getting the call up for the Italian National team.
