One of the country's preeminent eye surgeons, Dr. Ravi Patel, joins host of The Wizard of Eyes, Dr. Robert Abel, to discuss the common surgical options for patients who are losing peripheral vision from glaucoma.
It's important to know that there are choices... instead of continuing to use multiple combinations of eye drops to control intraocular pressure.
The good news is that glaucoma can be managed if detected early, and that with medical and/or surgical treatment, most people with glaucoma will not lose their sight.
