Description
Episode Description
This episode focuses on glaucoma. Len Bermon introduces Drs. Ed Sweats and George Tiener, who explain the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of glaucoma. Sweats uses a glaucometer to test Bermon. Through a camera technique, the reduced field of vision experienced after corrective surgery is demonstrated.
Series Description
"This series offered viewers in the Denver area information about general eye care to aid them in the prevention of blindness which, because of lack of information and misinformation, is often a needless condition. Programs presented covered cataracts, optics, partially seeing children, glaucoma, corneal transplants, retinal detachments, eye accidents, and eye care."--1958 Peabody Digest.
