In this episode, I talk with Tracy Wright, now based at Kaiser Permanente in Washington DC. He was at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami when we recorded this conversation. The implications immediately effected how I look at visual fields in my patients but I have yet to see further studies that support what we discussed, namely that visual fields continue to progress for a long time even once the stimulus that led to the initial glaucoma damage has been removed, likely due to apoptosis. The findings you are about to here may be shocking. Please write to me with your comments. -------------------------------------------------- Production information: This episode was recorded live in March 2014 during the Annual Meeting of the American Glaucoma Society in Coronado, CA, using two Shure SM58 microphones with a Marantz PMD661 digital recorder. Mixing and sound levelling were FINALLY performed in January 2017 on a MacBook Pro using Levelator, and Hindenberg Journalist Pro software. Narration was overdubbed using a Heil PR40 Microphone with Journalist Pro. Opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and are not intended to be taken as the standard of care for glaucoma treatment. Please always weigh the complete clinical picture and involve patients with any decisions in their care. -------------------------------------------------- Robert M Schertzer, MD, MEd, FRCSC podcast@iguy.org Twitter - http://twitter.com/robschertzer or http://iguy.tv/twitter Blog - http://wholelottarob.com or http://iguy.tv/blog Although I closed down the West Coast Glaucoma Center after moving to the east coast in the Fall of 2013, the website is still alive as a resource for eye information at http://westcoastglaucoma.com or http://iguy.tv/office Theme music "Middle East Gold" ©Daniel Schertzer 2010 and published by Les Prods DOSWA Enr © 2017 DOSWA Prods Enr/Robert M Schertzer MD.
