QUESTION:
Dear Dr. Richardson,
A month ago my eye surgeon performed a laser surgery on my right eye and I am afraid it was a miserable failure. Now he wants to do the trabeculectomy procedure which I find horrifying. And he is pushing for an early surgery date. I cannot travel or I would gladly make an appointment with you
I live in Ocala, Florida. Do you know any glaucoma surgeons in the southeast (preferably Florida) who perform Canaloplasty?
I appreciate your help and concern. Your website has been a blessing. Thank you.

ANSWER:
Dear ******,
I am sorry to hear that your laser surgery did not work for you. Fortunately, if it was Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty you may still be a candidate for canaloplasty. As you are not able to travel to see me I can highly recommend Dr. Brad Oren in Boynton Beach, FL. He performs canaloplasty and is who I recommend to everyone in the southeastern USA who cannot travel out to see me. His phone number is (561) 433-0098.
Warm regards,
