“I find the Understanding And Living With Glaucoma booklet invaluable in my practice. It serves as a wonderfully understandable introduction to glaucoma for the new patient who, although much of what is in the book is explained in the office, may forget due to information overload, fear, panic and/or age. It serves for many as a resource to go back to when questions pop up weeks, months or even years later. I often give a copy to the accompanying spouse or significant other so that they can also understand and help the individual care for themselves. In short, it is an extremely valuable resource.”
