Beverly Hills computer vision might sound like a high-tech startup to you. But in my field, it’s a metaphor. It’s a symbol of the precision and accuracy we optometrists aspire to bring to our work. The same attention to detail required to create a cutting-edge computer vision system is what we apply to managing and treating serious eye conditions. One such condition is glaucoma. This blog will delve into the crucial role optometrists play in glaucoma management and treatment. Just like the perfect clarity you’d expect from a computer vision system, we aim to clear the fog of glaucoma and safeguard your sight.
