Thank you for contacting us. We discover daily that glaucoma reaches into so many lives. Christopher is also a patient of Dr. Andrew Iwach, and like so many others we are grateful to for his amazing care.
We’d like to share with you how we began this journey with Christopher. Initially, we took Chris to Susan Day, MD at California Pacific Medical Center. After examining Chris, she immediately referred us to Dr. Iwach. Imagine our anxiety when we were told that our precious seven-month-old would need immediate eye surgery. Dr. Iwach was incredible, walking us through what would and needed to happen. Over the years, he has been incredible and terrific with us.
Did you know that Dr. Iwach is one of several dedicated ophthalmologists on the Glaucoma Research Foundation Board of Directors? He takes such a deep personal interest in his patients. Last year when Christopher had an episode when he couldn’t see, Andrew spent over twenty-four hours attempting to reach us from Korea where he was traveling. We hear this about many of the doctors on the GRF board.
Our family believes in GRF and draws a good deal of hope from the kind of innovative research they are able to fund thanks to the generosity of their good friends across the country. Let’s do all we can to help them reach that goal of finding a cure for glaucoma.
