Show Notes

This episode answers questions related to preparing for cataract surgery, reducing myopia, and using statin drugs for treating glaucoma.  Question 1 from Barbara: “I went for my eye exam and the doctor recommended surgery for cataracts.  I wish I had met you sooner, but I feel I need the surgery now.  How can I best prepare?”  Question 2 from Ron: “I have a question regarding myopia. I have a problem with myopia, that has increasingly become worse, especially in my left eye. I work on my computer a lot, and this has probably contributed much to the myopia. I purchased glasses with a diopter reading of -2.5, and this does help some. but I’m worried that using these glasses while at the computer may just be worsening the myopia. I would like your opinion on this. Thank you very much.” Question 3: Mark: “I read where statin drugs can be used to reduce glaucoma.  What do you think?”
