Congressional Glaucoma Caucus

 

 

 The Glaucoma Service  

We are especially devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma at Queens Eye Center. This group of illnesses permanently steals the sight of multitudes, making early diagnosis and proper management essential.

Using gold-standard visual field machines, pachymeters and the Heidelberg Retinal Tomography machine, we are able to detect and precisely follow those with this problem. Many patients can be managed with medication alone, while some will need surgery.

For individuals who are appropriate candidates, we offer on-premises argon and YAG laser treatments. Patients requiring more involved surgical treatment are treated at New York Hospital Queens where our ophthalmologists regularly operate.

 
We are particularly pleased to be a major center providing support for the work of the Congressional Glaucoma Caucus. With grant support from Friends of the Congressional Glaucoma Caucus Foundation, we perform free, community screenings and bring those found to be at risk to our Center for further evaluation and treatment.
