( Dr. Keon Nia, Local Ophthalmologist Gravenhurst, 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.

A 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. Keon Nia, Local Ophthalmologist Gravenhurst, 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.

    Completely agree with earlier criticisms but, unfortunately, did not see them before I was up-sold to the most expensive lenses he peddles: claims that the OHIP lenses were very poor; surgery in Huntsville was a bit ‘third world’. Adding insult to injury I now suffer from “hallo” conditions in poor light conditions, meaning night driving is …well..a nightmare. After fighting with his staff to get an audience with the doctor - and waiting well over an hour to get five minutes with him - I am told there is no cure for the condition short of a risky operation to remove those lenses (and assuming I can still see, selling me some more lenses.) The final blow is to be told the OHIP lenses would not have caused this problem as they don’t have the ‘ridges’ their much more profitable ones do! My advice: Look elsewhere!

    Similar service as the earlier review happened to me. The emphasis is on upselling higher end cataract surgery and lenses and criticizing the OHIP quality and timelines. They spent about 9 times more on the selling their information and trying to get a machine to look into my eyes than was spent with the actual Doctor. He was brief, casually interested, and had no empathy or caring manner towards the parience. "We will look after your eyes, don't worry" kind of poor medical care which unfortunately still goes on in Ontario. The way the optometrist Luryk of Stager & Luryk in Huntsville (always in a frantic hyer hurry) after saying all is ok, suddenly looked again and declared that I had Macular Degeneration ran out of the room and set up an appointment for me to see Dr Nia Keon and went into another room. Bad sign right there. Then Dr Nia Keon's office in Muskoka the staff were rushed, and overly hurried, and by the time they got to me it was later, and half the staff had closed everything up, and literally pushed me thru the machine that looks and photos the eyes, and finally the Doctor appears, and all are gone except 2 office assistants working under pressure. These referrals and medical people are low level quality, average to low patient care skills, and in a bubble that screams "this is for the money". How many other rural communities are served this way is a question that should be investigated. This is the first time I have written such a Review and reluctantly written because the drive to place money ahead of patient well-being comes from the top, most others are regular local people probably under paid, and usually there research indicates that such ownership and leadership is very unlikely to change and would only be mitigated somewhat by working for a reputable eye specialist. A month later I went to an experienced ophthalmologist in a larger city and he told me I have no macular degeneration or any impact on the my eyes from my diabetes. He said things can change quickly, but for now he recommended not to do cataract surgery and keep healthy, see you next year. He has a much bigger established business with two other ophthalmologists with a smooth quiet supportive staff and least 5 times longer with the Doctor, who was extremely understandable, forthright, and trustworthy. This is where I will continue. And a friend recommended them to me and because I said I had been told I had macular degeneration, they saw me in two weeks, otherwise they were booking 3 months out. People of Gravenhurst and rural Canada be careful. If it doesn't feel professional, caring and supportive, move on.

    When I was sent there for Lazer eye surgery I was not impressed. First according to them whatever is covered by OHip is no good. It costs you 500.00 to get a measurement taken because the one covered by OHIP is not exact. Then they give you a choice between Toronto or Huntsville. I chose Huntsville because it is closer. Then they say we will phone you for an appointment. Three weeks later still no word. So I phoned and am told they did not have time to phone me because they had to rebook all the people that had been cancelled because of cover. So okey well then book me in Toronto. Then the girl informs me that I have to upgrade the Lens because the clinic is a Private Clinic and they do not do anything covered by OHIP. Now to me this whole system sounds like a money racquet. Perhaps they should inform their clients of what is what. Why in gods name would I want to go to a Private Clinic and pay thousands of dollars. The problem I have is that they totally fail on informing the client. Joseph René Aubin
