On this episode of ASRS’s Retina Health for Life, Dr. Jeffrey Heier of Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston joins Dr. Timothy Murray to discuss the treatment burden that many patients experience with regular eye injections and how retina specialists are striving to reduce that burden while improving patients’ vision.
