Bill McDermott underwent several procedures to treat the facial injuries and other surgeries to try and return his eye’s vision. Unfortunately, despite all efforts, the eye could not be saved and had to be removed.
According to Distractify, he had nine hours of surgery the night of the accident. He underwent more than ten procedures, but his left eye was beyond repair.
As a result, he started wearing sunglasses. Despite the tragic incident, he did not let it affect him and returned to work within two months. He even said that he turned it into an opportunity to improve his outlook on the world and aim higher with his work.
