Cataract Surgery.
This animated video shows you what causes glaucoma, a common cause of blindness when left untreated. Video courtesy of Blausen Medical.
Glaucoma treatment: Dr. Rajesh Shetty, an Opthalmologist at the Mayo Clinic, discusses the treatment of glaucoma, including a less invasive surgery for patients who can not be controlled with medication.
Diabetecs commonly have problems with their eyes, including diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to blindness. Dr. Victor Elner, an opthalmologist at the Univ. of Michigan, discusses FA imaging to assess the retina.
