I have children. I have grandchildren and I have a great granddaughter. For fun, I love to play with my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I've had glaucoma for about five to six years. Peg: And he's suffered so many losses that the idea that he could lose his vision was so frightening. That he has a family history with glaucoma. He watched an uncle go blind. And it broke my heart that he could lose anything else. Peg: And at one time he went through probably five or six different drops and I know one point he was using like three at the same time. None of the drops were terribly effective. And when there were more drops added, it became a compliance issue because the more drops there were, the more number of times a day they had to be used. It was pretty uncomfortable. He had some side effects. One of them interacted very badly with his diabetes and I think all of them created really dry itchy eyes and the drops weren't giving the best resolution to it. That's when surgery came up as a discussion. Ron: I found out about Canaloplasty through Doctor Richardson. He took a lot of time in explaining to me the new procedure. Peg: We had discuss glaucoma surgery- just the old traditional glaucoma surgery with another Doctor, and in discussing Canaloplasty with Doctor Richardson, we realized that there were far fewer risks there was a much better chance of success. I think at that point it really was a no-brainer. It wasn't even a choice. It was just an absolute blessing to have a Doctor who could perform Canaloplasty. And in comparing the surgical options the only really good option was Canaloplasty. Peg: Ron had Canaloplasty in 2010 in one eye. And the second eye was done in 2011. The results of both of those procedures was phenomenal. Since that time, Ron is using only one drop in one eye, daily and that eye has had absolutely no disease progression. The other eye not only has had no disease progression, he's drop free but is actually improved since the time of surgery to the point where it's not apparent that he ever had glaucoma in that eye. Peg: Doctor Richardson and his staff are amazing. Warm, reassuring, competent... amazing communication, leading up to surgery, following surgery, long-term follow-up. It's the type of environment that when you walk in the door you know, that you’re in the right place that you're in good hands.
