May I ask who is the neuro-ophthalmologist that you are seeing in Baltimore. I live in Maryland and I do suffer from glaucoma because of scar tissues developing on my drainage system. I am terrified of surgery because all of these problems started after a cataract surgery. Doctors keep threatening me if you don’t do this treatment and that treatment, you’ll lose your vision, but so far with all they’ve done, I am going downhill with one eye and the other is doing okay since it hasn’t been manipulated and poked at so much!!! I have trust issues with them and I come out of their office in tears or with some sort of injury and I get blamed for it!!! They are supposed to be the best and I think to myself who can I turn to, I don’t want to go blind!?

@laluna9 The doc I have just started seeing is a glaucoma specialist and a neuroscientist. He has a research lab at Johns Hopkins. I don’t know if that’s different than a neuro ophthamologist? But you can call the Wilmer Eye Center at Hopkins and request a neuro ophthamologist. My doc’s name is Thomas V. Johnson III .
