Alena Reznik, MD:

Hi, my name is Dr. Alena Reznik, I'm a full-time glaucoma specialist in LA and Orange County area. I'm here today to speak about all the wonderful new developments in the drug delivery devices for glaucoma. We're so used to prescribing eyedrops for patients who prescribe 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, so forth and so on. But do they actually take it? Now we have an opportunity to take away compliance from the hands of the patients into the hands of the physicians or providers.
