Patient Reviews
Jun 08, 2024
When first diagnosed with glaucoma more than 10 years ago, my optometrist referred me to Dr. Lama as the region's most skilled and respected ophthalmologist who specializes in the eye condition. He's all that and more. After my first meeting with Dr. Lama, he assured he would stand by me at every step in fighting the frightening disease. And he has. Dr. Lama employs a wide range of methods to keep ocular pressure at a safe level, from medication and laser treatment to surgery, which he performs at Clara Maass Medical Center. His Rochelle Park office is state-of-the-art, and his staff is helpful. I am extremely grateful to Dr.Lama for preserving my eyesight.
