New Eye Surgery Keeps Dentist’s Glaucoma at Bay
Eye Center of La Jolla, Dr. Shervin Alborzian successfully performs non-invasive canaloplasty.
La Jolla − Kenneth Pat Brown, DDS, wasn’t expecting the diagnosis of glaucoma in 2010. This vision-stealer showed up silently over three years ago as Dr. Brown noticed blurriness in his left eye. After two years of managing the disease with eye drops, his eye specialist recommended the traditional glaucoma surgery called trabeculectomy, to relieve the pressure on his optic nerve. Concerned about the risks of this older procedure, which has a lifetime risk of eye infection after the surgery, he began searching for something better: that’s when he learned about canaloplasty, a non-invasive surgical intervention.
