Dr. McMann has over 19 years of experience in Ophthalmology and brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every patient under his care. Dr.

Dr. McMann earned his degree in medicine from The Pritzker School of Medicine at The University of Chicago, which is consistently ranked as a top
10 medical school in the United States by US News & World Report. Upon graduation from medical school, he entered active-duty service in the US Army Medical Corps where he spent eight years as a US Army Physician and Ophthalmologist. Dr. McMann completed his formal Ophthalmology Internship and Residency at Madigan Army Medical Center at Fort Lewis in Washington State, the largest and busiest Ophthalmology Service in the US Army.
During his service as a US Army physician, he played an integral role in developing the Warfighter Refractive Eye Surgery Program at Madigan Army Medical Center. As one of the founders of Madigan's refractive surgery center, Dr. McMann had the LASIK surgery procedure himself, performed by his friend and colleague Dr. Vernon Parmley, M.D., in June 2002. As a teaching staff member at Madigan Army Medical Center, Dr. McMann was awarded the high honor of the Golden Apple Award in 2002. This award is bestowed upon the best teaching staff in the Ophthalmology Residency Program.
In July 2005, Dr. McMann began Fellowship-Training in Cornea, External Disease & Refractive Surgery at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, a highly coveted and world-renowned fellowship. As part of this Fellowship-Training, Dr. McMann became skilled in advanced corneal transplant surgeries including the new Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty also known as DSEK or DSAEK. Dr. McMann also honed his skills in advanced cataract surgery techniques to include the new multifocal, toric, and phakic intraocular lenses (IOL) commonly referred to as Premium IOL's. He also learned advanced refractive surgery techniques and diagnosis as a member of Emory's Refractive Surgery Center. As part of Fellowship Training, he played an instrumental role in the evaluation and treatment of complicated surgical cases referred from other ophthalmologists throughout the country.
Upon completion of Fellowship-Training, Dr. McMann relocated to Oahu, Hawaii in August, 2006 where he plans to remain for the duration of his career.
While the McMann Eye Institute was in the planning and development stages, Dr. McMann was employed by the Dept. of Defense as a full-time contract Ophthalmologist at Tripler Army Medical Center until July, 2008. Dr. McMann performed many surgical procedures on soldiers from all branches of military service, having performed the first Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK) at Tripler Army Medical Center.
