The speaker in the video may have no association with ( Dr. Harmeet Gill, Local Ophthalmologist Toronto, ON ). 
( Dr. Harmeet Gill, Local Ophthalmologist Toronto, ON ), may talk about some of the conditions and some of the treatment options shown on the videos. Always talk with your Local Ophthalmologist about the information you learnt from the videos in regards to treatments for What is Glaucoma? and procedures the Local Ophthalmologist could  perform and if they would be appropriate for you. Remember good information is the corner stone to understanding your condition or disease.

local ophthalmologist is different from a local optometrist in that an optometrist doesn’t perform surgery. 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.

Please contact ( Dr. Harmeet Gill, Local Ophthalmologist Toronto, ON ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients.Patients are often concerned that an injection of material into their eye will be a painful or scary procedure. In fact, after the first or second injection, patients become quite at ease with the idea that they will have these injections, Following an intravitreal injection, you may feel pressure or grittiness in the eye, slight bleeding on the white of the eye and floaters in your vision. These are temporary and normal. As glaucoma progresses, it damages more and more of your optic nerve fibers, leading to vision loss. With primary open-angle glaucoma, the fluid can’t effectively flow back out of your eye. Angle-closure glaucoma occurs when the iris of the eye closes off the drainage angle completely, causing an increase in IOP pressure and damage to the optic nerve.

Glaucoma is a condition where there is increased pressure within the eyeball, causing damage to the optic nerve and gradual loss of sight.  If glaucoma is detected early preventative measures can be taken to save vision loss.

Cataracts can affect both eyes or just one, and some patients experience mild symptoms, while others can barely see any shapes or movements. Cataract symptoms include blurry vision, haloes, sensitivity to bright lights, decreased night vision, frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions, and faded colours.

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that primarily affect the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. In most cases of glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve is associated with increased pressure within the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP). However, glaucoma can also occur without elevated IOP, known as normal-tension glaucoma.

When the pressure inside the eye becomes elevated, it can cause compression and damage to the retinal fibers that make up the optic nerve. These fibers are responsible for transmitting visual signals to the brain, allowing us to see.

    I will get back to you on this as I am in too much discomfort due to procedures Dr Gill did to me, 2 procedures he never told me about, like cutting part of my lower eyelid out.. there are important oil glands there!!! He also put implants under my eyes, I was never told me he was going to do this. I feel 24/7 like there are objects in both sides of the same eye at all times! I can no longer drive, read, watch tv, I can’t enjoy ANYTHING!! Even taking my dog for a walk is not enjoyable due to the feeling there are things in my right eye, and my oil glands are no longer working so my eye is soo dry I have to put expensive eye drops in my eye every 5-10 minutes! My husband and I went down from Georgetown over 10 times, he always said this will fix it, and I got disappointed each time, because it didn’t fix the problem, we have been trying to fix this problem for over 2 years now, it has gotten worse not better, I feel like a guinea pig!!! I am not the only one, there is another girl that said her eyes are ruined and has severe dry eyes as well, and one man who is not happy with what Dr. Gill did to him!!! He has put me through very painful procedures, whether it was giving me needles in my eye nerve blocks, taking sutures out, different times, He also was not able to sedate me with medication and took part of my lip out and sowed into my eye. It also has made my eye worse, I have considered suicide several times. I honestly don’t know how to live this way I am housebound as I said I can’t drive my car. I can’t read I can’t even take my dog for a walk. I can’t even watch a movie with my husband. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone!!! Dr Gill prescribed me Lyrica to help trick my brain into not feeling the problems in my eye, the first time I took it, I felt higher than a kite by the third day it didn’t work, he basically was putting a Band-Aid on the problem and was not fixing it. I looked at all the side effects of this medication and the horrendous. I also have to put lubricating gel in my eyes each night and wear a mask very tight to keep my eyes closed, he did an orbital decompression saying that this would allow me to close my eyes again. Obviously that didn’t work had I known the discomfort I’m in now I would never of gone to him. Please call me at 647-239-7060 I will explain in further detail, what I’ve gone through in over two years.

    absolutely outstanding - as a retired anesthesiologist and university professor i am in a position to make this judgement. i have never seen an office so well run with the end point being dr gill whose treatment planning and subsequent surgery from a highly educated and award winning very personable practitioner made the entire rather complicated procedure a pleasant experienced. dr earle young
