Research Updates

With exciting new biomarkers on the horizon, this is a good time to learn more about what they are and how they’ll ultimately help find a cure for glaucoma.

While this is a major breakthrough, OCT angiography must be improved before it will be ready for use in your doctor’s office.

Data published in October 2016 shows there is a successful, safe, routine surgical procedure that has been restoring eyesight for ages, and it may be the answer to treating primary closed-angle glaucoma (PCAG).
