Please contact ( Dr. Baseer Khan, Ophthalmologist Vaughan, ON ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients. Glaucoma is an eye disease caused by a buildup of intraocular pressure (IOP). Your eyes have clear liquid that flows in and out, but if you have glaucoma, this liquid doesn’t drain properly, causing this buildup of IOP pressure. Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve, which is made up of nerve fibers and transmits images from the eye to your brain. If you have a condition known as ocular hypertension, which is a result of high ocular pressure, your risk of developing glaucoma increases.Your optometrist or ophthalmologist may want to lower your IOP as a preventative measure.

Our eye works a lot like a camera. In order for us to see clearly, the light has to be focused by a lens. We are all born with a lens inside our eye that does this job for us and in early life it is crystal clear. As we age, this lens can become cloudy and begin to block light or create blur. We call this change in the lens a “cataract”.

Fortunately, cataracts are treatable through surgery. During cataract surgery, the clouded lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure is highly successful in restoring clear vision for most people, allowing them to see more clearly and improve their quality of life.

    1. Dr. Khan's online video re: cataracts & surgery is excellent. But there is supposed to be a transcript of this video which I can not access!! (Note that I do not want the Action Plan.) 2. I don't understand the Action Plan rating as it starts with, "Did you leave the office..." I thought I created an account for ONLINE services?!? 3. Prior to signing up, I read that this service could inform me of MD's who are taking on new patients in my area. I can't find this function, and the "Quick Question" tool is relatively useless.

    I recently was diagnosed with glaucoma and had the good fortune to see Dr. Khan. I found him to be very knowledgeable, helpful and genuinely interested in helping me and my condition. I would recommend Dr. Khan to anyone in need of eye treatment and testing. Duncan in Vaughan, ON
