Neovascular Glaucoma
UChicago Medicine's Glaucoma staff recognized the importance of patient education and communication in managing Neovascular Glaucoma, a complex eye condition. To enhance patient understanding and engagement, they requested a patient education pamphlet that combines informative text with visually appealing infographics. This pamphlet was designed in both English and Spanish to ensure accessibility to a diverse patient population.
