At the recent Midwest Glaucoma Symposium at the Cleveland Clinic, I learned so much from a presentation by Dr Matthew Brink about the benefits of phaco in glaucoma patients. He has some very keen insights and he made the point that it deserves further research and that his findings would benefit from further inquiry.
