Wilmington Eye's Glaucoma Specialist, Dr. van der Vaart, Talks About Newest Glaucoma Offering

Описание: Glaucoma is a very serious ocular disease that affects more than 3 million people in the US. It's also one of the leading causes of blindness. Once a person is diagnosed with glaucoma, the most common treatment plan is prescription eye drops. However, these glaucoma eye drops have proven to be difficult for patients as they require self-administration. Dr. Robert van der Vaart, a board-certified ophthalmic surgeon and glaucoma specialist, is now offering a new glaucoma treatment that can help save a patient's vision once they've been diagnosed with glaucoma. It's called a sustained release drug delivery system. An implant is inserted into the eye during a simple out-patient procedure and the implant delivers vision-saving glaucoma drops continuously to the patient.
