Given that it impacts your vision, ‘Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston’ (OCB), understandably, pay a lot of attention to glaucoma. Everytime you visit them they will test you for glaucoma. I am a very happy patient of theirs. They instill confidence in you. I always feel that I am in good hands with them.
Most of my dealing with OCB is to see the wonderful, gifted & brilliant Dr. Theodor Sauer who in late 2020 & early 2021 (during the height of COVID) performed three near miraculous cataract surgeries on me. Yes, three. He did my right eye twice, within the space of a month, to rotate the toric lens that was installed. Once it was in he took further measurements & figured that an additional 15 degree rotation might improve vision further. It did. Hence, the three, all three with 2 months (I think).
YOUNG Dr. Sauer is brilliant. I know I have used that word multiple times before BUT there is no other word that really captures him. He just is ONE of those amazing doctors. They are getting rarer & rarer. As soon as you see him you know you have LUCKED out. He exudes quiet confidence, competence, compassion & caring. As some of you know I am no strangers to doctors, so I am not one who is in constant awe of doctors. In general I am quite critical of U.S. doctors though I, for reasons I have never worked out, have lucked out, BIG TIME, when it comes to surgeons. Just like Dr. Sauer, Dr. Charles Blitzer, who did my (also miraculous) knee surgery 4-years ago, is a sheer genius. My knee is better than new & the whole process of near painless.
But, back to glaucoma & Dr. Sauer. Check out his FAQ. It is short & pithy.
IF YOU have any eyes issues, at all, at all, consider going to OCB or more locally, the ‘Capital Vision Center‘ in Concord, N.H. They are very good too, though they don’t do surgery.
Your vision is NOT something you should overlook!
