G laucoma is a health condition that increases pressure inside a patient’s eye, eventually causing blindness, which takes a significant toll on a patient’s lifestyle. Fortunately, experts at the Glaucoma Center use comprehensive treatments to offer patients a hopeful vision of a future that isn’t inhibited because of their condition.

The Glaucoma Center leases two suites from St. John Properties in Melford Town Center, with one suite housing the Lakeview Surgery Center, which is the ophthalmology practice of the Glaucoma Center. The surgery center conducts cat- aract and glaucoma surgery. “We offer the full array of diagnostic equipment for diagnosis and monitoring glaucoma patients,” Dr. Alyson Hall, MD, founder of the Glaucoma Center, said, “including visual field testing and ocular coherence tomography. Lakeview Surgery Center, located in the same building as our medical practice, is where we provide sophisticated glau- coma and cataract surgery.” Due to the nature of glaucoma, the facility is crucial to the center’s opera- tions. “Our office and surgical centers are conveniently located in a single- story building with easy patient access,” Dr. Hall said. “Many of our patients have low vision and our location facilitates their ability to enter our office and sur- gical center.”
The Glaucoma Center has had such suc- cess that it is expanding its current office space in Bowie to accommodate more examination rooms and diagnostic equipment. “Our office space and sur- gery center are used for direct patient care,” Dr. Hall said. Creating the office space was a team effort between the Glaucoma Center, the Lakeview Surgery Center and St. John Properties. “The project manager, designers, architects and contractors all worked collaboratively with my medical practice,” Dr. Hall said. “Throughout the entire process, I felt very comfortable with the expertise and thoroughness of the [St. John] team. Their input and will- ingness to tweak our plans until they perfectly suited our needs has given us two spaces that are creatively designed to maximize our flow and efficiency, while giving our patients a comfortable and beautiful environment in which to receive medical care.”
tors were the beautiful surroundings of the mixed-use community, the conve- nient location and the leasing price. Since then, the ongoing helpfulness of St. John Properties has solidified the relationship. “[St. John] is a very professionally run operation,” Dr. Hall said. “Our property manager is very responsive to any con- cerns we have, and there have not been any major issues. We feel very welcome as tenants, and their customer service has been extraordinary.”
