Patient Reviews
Feb 06, 2017
When I was first diagnosed with glaucoma, Dr. Bernard performed four laser procedures (over almost a year) to reduce my interocular pressures in both eyes. With her treatment and following her prescription for drops at night and early morning, my IO pressures have dropped from 30+ to the normal range of 13. She had a significant role in saving my sight, and with my recent diagnosis of cataracts I trust her completely and without reservation. As a fine art landscape photographer, I need my eyes!
