ANSWER:

Dear C****,

Both diabetes and glaucoma can result in permanent loss of vision. Whether loss of vision can be improved by laser or surgery depends upon the underlying cause. I’ve copied my nurse, Ana, on this email. She will be able to assist you if you wish to schedule a consultation with me in my San Marino office.
