Leon W Herndon, Jr MD talks about Increasing Glaucoma Screenings for Patients, the AGS Cares Network

Glaucoma is a silent thief of sight and half of patients with the disease are unaware they have it. In this video, Leon Herndon, MD, the 21st President of the American Glaucoma Society, discusses his vision to increase screening for patients with glaucoma through the AGS Cares network. This organization provides surgery for those who cannot afford it, but Dr. Herndon believes it is being underutilized and can do more by adding a screening benefit to the network. As a discipline that develops long-term relationships with patients, glaucoma has the potential to preserve sight and be an exciting career choice in ophthalmology. Watch to learn more about this initiative and the importance of glaucoma screenings for patients.
