Announcements
Looking to talk on-line with other glaucoma patients? Join www.facebook.com and add yourself to the 'Glaucoma Patient Group,' or 'Young and Under Pressure' group.
(There is a link to Facebook under the New Patient Information section of this web page in the far left hand column.)
We are pleased to announce that Dr Katherine Pratt is seeing patients on Thursdays at the West Coast Glaucoma Centre for optometric assessments. She is available for patients who do not already have an optometrist for general eye care needs.
Thanks to the help of Dr Robert Woods seeing glaucoma follow-up patients one day per week, we are now able to see all our glaucoma patients in a timely manner.
