The West Coast Glaucoma Centre is...
a sub-specialty ophthalmology practice that is focused on acute and long term care of patients with glaucoma.
Dr. Robert Schertzer leads our professional health care team. We are a group that includes highly qualified ophthalmic technicians, an optometrist, and an office manager. We are are there for you with our professional, personal and friendly care.
We are dedicated to educating you about your health by talking with you and giving you access to relevant clinical information. We use the latest diagnostic technology, and medical, laser and surgical treatments for patients with glaucoma as well as cataracts.
The West Coast Glaucoma Centre is an ophthalmic educational site for University of British Columbia trainees. At times there are glaucoma fellows (ophthalmologists studying to become glaucoma sub-specialists) and ophthalmology residents (medical doctors who are in a five-year program to become ophthalmologists.)
New patients are always welcome by referral from an ophthalmologist, another physician, or an optometrist. We promptly respond to referral requests and report back to your referring doctor usually within a few minutes of your visit. Please fax referrals to (604) 873-2937; phone call referrals are not accepted.
