Barbara J Arnold, MD, meeting sponsor shared her love for her professional career as a practicing eye physician and surgeon.  Building long term relationships in providing patient care, and paying attention to details establishes  a foundation for continuity of care.  Barbara sees herself as someone who helps people maintain their independence.  As age related eye changes become a challenge, keeping one's sight for safe driving, a good game of golf, and efficient reading skills all become priorities.   Barbara always enjoys documenting health, so well eye exam opportunities are  welcome for all age groups.  Every patient visit always includes an eye pressure check (a screening test for possible glaucoma) and an evaluation of the optic nerve.  Barbara enjoys performing cataract and lens implant surgeries on a weekly basis.  She also performs in office laser treatments as needed for diabetic retinopathy.  Outside of office hours, the art of medicine turn to the art of painting, and examples of her work can be seen on her website bjarnold.com.
