Paul Lee Treatments Quotations

Since our data were collected, additional treatments have become available. However, these medications are fairly expensive. Ultimately, it may cost patients and society more to care for patients in earlier stages of the disease ? but over the long-term, when managed correctly and effectively, glaucoma patients can retain more of their vision and therefore remain more productive with a presumably higher quality of life.

It is imperative that patients with glaucoma be well-monitored for changes in their disease. Our results prove what we've thought for a long time ? that the disease gets more expensive as it worsens. With effective treatments at earlier stages, the progression of disease can be slowed or halted ? saving both the patient and society from greater economic burden.
