What is the difference between an ophthalmologist and an optometrist for glaucoma care?

An ophthalmologist, like Dr. Zoghby, is a medical doctor (M.D.) who can perform surgery and provide the full spectrum of medical and surgical glaucoma care. An optometrist (O.D.), like Dr. Howell, is a primary eye care provider who diagnoses and manages glaucoma with medications and works closely with ophthalmologists for surgical co-management. Both are crucial to a comprehensive care team.

Why is a fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist important?

A fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist, like Dr. Zoghby, has completed an additional 1-2 years of intensive training focused exclusively on the medical and surgical management of complex glaucoma cases. This advanced expertise ensures you have access to the most current treatments, including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and advanced laser procedures.

When should I see a glaucoma specialist?

You should see a glaucoma specialist if you have been diagnosed with glaucoma, have a strong family history of the disease, have high intraocular pressure, or if your current glaucoma treatment is not effectively controlling your eye pressure. A referral from your optometrist or general ophthalmologist is common.
