        Dr. Corrant did not make me feel rushed at all, and he taught me more about my eye condition that I’ve ever been taught before. I was in very good hands!! My regular glaucoma specialist is where I live in Connecticut. I’m visiting my daughter in the area, I’m having eye problems, so I’m very happy to have found a wonderful doctor for something that was stressful to me.
