Please contact ( Dr. Robert Adam, Ophthalmologist Toronto, ON ) 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.

    I was referred to Dr Gill originally but for unknown reason I was seen by Dr Adam. He checked my eyes briefly and told that a procedure that will help with dry eye. It is by stapling my lower lead to the eye orbit so tears cannot flow out. I had that procedure 30 years ago and at that time it really did help. I was a bit surprised that it must be redone but since I am not an expert I took Dr. Adam’s suggestion especially since the first time I had no visible cuts or problems. It was done very fast by previous doctor. Apparently and in spite of the assurance by Dr Adam that the procedure will be very short it turned out to be almost an hour. The assistant came to tell him that few patients have been waiting and I could see that he was in real rush to finish. I have to add that if you are over 65 OHIP pays. Few days after the surgery I noticed that my left eyelid is hanging over my eye and I look like I am winking continuously. I was very concerned and called for an appointment. Was given one for a month after. In addition to the flap something sharp was coming out of the incision (he had to make cuts for this procedure). When I went to see him he pulled a stitch and immediately told me that it was not his but from the previous surgery because it was blue and he used white. His explanation “it was from the previous surgery from 30 years ago”. On my concern about the flap over my eye he told me that “nobody has 2 same eyes” and he could fix it but I must pay 1,500 dollars because now it was cosmetic. I was shocked because it was caused by him to start with. I went to him with 2 eyes looking the same and came out with totally different eyes. He made an appointment for 3 months later. During that time a different major problem appeared. My eye could not completely close as if the hanging skin on the outside of the lid was pulling down and opening the inner eyelid. I consulted a plastic surgeon in the Canadian Dermatology Center and he confirmed that I ended up with inverted lid and that can be fixed only by eye surgeon. He advised me to do nothing for fixing the flap until the problem with the eye closure is corrected. He suggested I see Dr. Gill who works in the same office as Dr. Adam. The receptionist refused to give me aplointment with Dr Gill because I have seen Dr. Adam. I went back to Dr. Adam asking him to fix it. He checked me again and said that apparently my eye was not closing completely when went to him the first time and he could see that. I was really upset because if that was the case he should have NEVER proceeded with the surgery but just given me drops that will help with the dry eye. In closing he said there is noting he can do and suggested I use surgical tape every night to prevent the lid from opening. For the rest of my life. I was shocked. My advise to ppl who are referred to him is RUN. I guess he proposed that surgery on everyone that is retired because it is easy money and the end result has to be swept under the rug because retired ppl should not complain how they look. Things would have been different if I paid or if I was 20 years old. He obviously thinks that past certain age we must be thankful for being alive and not complicate his life with complaining about looks. I we t with two perfect looking eyes and ended looking like a freak. Not only that but I also get the eyelashes on my left eye growing down and having to pool them out with tweezers because it irritates the skin on the bottom lid. If my review can save someone having the same post-operation problems I would say “choose another doctor” Unfortunately I I cannot enclose pics to show how I look which I would gladly have done.
