Please contact ( Dr. Debra-Meghan Sanft, Ophthalmologist Montreal, QC ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients. Glaucoma is an eye disease caused by a buildup of intraocular pressure (IOP). Your eyes have clear liquid that flows in and out, but if you have glaucoma, this liquid doesn’t drain properly, causing this buildup of IOP pressure. Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve, which is made up of nerve fibers and transmits images from the eye to your brain. If you have a condition known as ocular hypertension, which is a result of high ocular pressure, your risk of developing glaucoma increases.Your optometrist or ophthalmologist may want to lower your IOP as a preventative measure.

Our eye works a lot like a camera. In order for us to see clearly, the Cornea has light has to be focused by a lens. We are all born with a lens inside our eye that does this job for us and in early life it is crystal clear. As we age, this lens can become cloudy and begin to block light or create blur. We call this change in the lens a “cataract”.

Fortunately, cataracts are treatable through surgery. During cataract surgery, the clouded lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure is highly successful in restoring clear vision for most people, allowing them to see more clearly and improve their quality of life.

    Action Plan
    I saw Dr. Sanft recently for my dry eyes. My optometrist kept brushing me off and giving me the same 30$ bottle of drops that didn't help. She went over a plan with me, step by step. I am seeing her again in a few months, but I already feel so much better. After years of suffering... a solution.

    Action Plan
    Dr Sanft could tell that I was very nervous. I kept apologizing for crying because I knew she hat a lot of people waiting. She told me that when I was with her that time stops until she knows the person she is with understands the diagnosis and plan. I couldn't believe it. She kept her word with every visit. I can't say enough good things.
