Thanks for your kind advice. I'm very serious about my eyes and will do my best to protect it. However my docker is considered as a glaucoma specialist in one of the best hospital in our city..(though she's also treating other eye diseases)

Ok, I’m happy to hear it. This reminds me that another important caveat re: eyecare is this — even within a country, there’s a lot of variation in how ophthalmologists treat the same condition (eg one doctor might choose to do tube surgery on a glaucoma patient, whereas another might choose to do a laser procedure for the same patient.)

I imagine that internationally the differences are even more dramatic! But this doesn’t mean that one country is more “correct” than the other; in fact, I’d hypothesize that for population specific disease variants, geography factors into the trajectory of one’s disease outcome. For example, ophthalmologists in Asia are likely much better at treating normal tension glaucoma (NTG,) which has a higher prevalence in Asian patients. So perhaps these patients tend to do better, but this is only a crude guess.

Aha, it's interesting that your example 100% fit my case, Asian and NTG.

BTW, What you guys are doing is very impressive. It could be very useful for whom not able to go to the doctor's office.

Glad that my training and knowledge base is on point, hehe.

Thank you so much for the kind words. My biggest wish is for my team to use our combined skills and expertise to bring high-impact, scalable solutions to those who can't access an eye doctor (or don't want to go into the office.)
