I owe my sight to Dr. Croley. My mother lost her sight to glaucoma. My optic nerve is basically a flat line and not even close to the bell curve it should be. Through eye operations and prescribing 4 different eye drops the doctor has been able to keep my pressure and my field of vision in a satisfactory range. I only need glasses for reading and there non prescription. – NORMAN H.
