Effect of COVID-19 on Glaucoma
Show: UAB Med Cast
Hogan Knox MD discusses the effect of COVID-19 on glaucoma and its impact on patient care. He shares how protocols and recommendations have changed for glaucoma patients and how they work with their patients to make the decision to see patients in clinic to avoid the patient’s glaucoma progressing to a point of irreversible vision loss or postponing the visit because the patient has factors that make them at higher risk for serious COVID-19 complications.
