QUESTION:

Hi Doctor, can someone with a severe Glaucoma use computer regularly to work?

via Email

ANSWER:

There is no reliable research suggesting that computer use would be damaging to someone with glaucoma. Indeed, specialized LCD screens are often used as low-vision aids and most computers now have the option to automatically enlarge print to assist those with low vision.
