William Watson was struck in the face by a ball as a young child, leaving a cloudy hue on his left eyeball and he’s now undergone an hour-long cosmetic procedure to create the appearance of a normal pupil.

Describing the sensation, Mr. Watson is reported by the Daily Mail newspaper as saying: “It felt like someone was rubbing it – and that’s about it. It went smoothly, no nothing whatsoever. It was nice.”

He added: “I can’t believe how much better I look on the outside and how much better I feel inside.”
