Please contact ( Dr. Roger Thomas, Ophthalmologist Richmond, BC ) 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.

    Dr. Roger Thomas has been my ophthalmologist for over 20 years. I have glaucoma for over 15 years and my condition has not been worsened under his care. I had cataract surgery several years ago and he did a great job. Dr. Thomas is kind, patience and takes his time with his patients. My sister and late mother are his patients too!

    Action Plan
    No options for catatact surgery IOL replacement were provided. Told the only option was the government funded IOL's, which most people getting those end up having to use glasses. Provided very poor medical advice. Specialy dangerous for people that are not well informed on cataract surgery. Must get a second opinion. Also, no relevant, but, has standoffish attitude that is very annoying.
