    I have a case of congenital glaucoma that hasn't required treatment since I was a child so it was devastating that at 53 my pressures went up again. She didn't lie to me about the prognosis of it, but was also made me feel a little better about being able to control the pressures so I don't lose any more of what little sight I have in my eye. She is the greatest!!!

    During this visit, she was able to give me some insights into how the medication I am taking for my eyes, may be related to symptoms my primary care doctor is treating.
