Monocular patients are justifiably nervous with discussions about operating on their only good eye. These patients are worried that in the rare chance that something happens to their good eye during surgery, they will be left sightless.

In this video I share my best pearls for understanding and helping these monocular patients so that we can restore their good eye to even better vision.
