Glaucoma Care & Treatment
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness—but with early diagnosis and proper management, vision loss can often be slowed or prevented. Our team provides comprehensive glaucoma care using advanced technology, evidence-based treatments, and individualized long-term monitoring to safeguard your sight.
What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve—the part of the eye that sends visual information to the brain. This damage is often related to high eye pressure, but not always. Because glaucoma usually develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms, many people don’t realize they have it until significant vision changes occur.
Early detection is essential. The earlier glaucoma is diagnosed, the more effectively it can be managed.
Types of Glaucoma We Diagnose & Treat
-
Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
The most common form, usually slow and symptom-free until later stages.
-
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
A sudden increase in eye pressure requiring immediate medical attention.
-
Normal-Tension Glaucoma
Optic nerve damage occurs even with “normal” eye pressure.
-
Secondary Glaucoma
Caused by other conditions such as trauma, inflammation, or steroid use.
-
Congenital or Pediatric Glaucoma
A rare form present at birth or early childhood.
Treatment Options Tailored To Your Needs
Glaucoma treatment is personalized based on the type and severity of the disease. Options include:
-
Prescription Eye Drops
To lower intraocular pressure and reduce optic nerve damage.
-
Laser Therapy
-
SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) for open-angle glaucoma
-
LPI (Laser Peripheral Iridotomy) for narrow or closed angles
-
-
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
Advanced techniques that improve drainage with less downtime.
-
Traditional Glaucoma Surgery
For advanced or complex cases, including trabeculectomy and drainage implants.
Our goal is to preserve your vision with the most effective, least invasive treatment possible.
Long-Term Monitoring & Management
Glaucoma is a chronic condition that requires ongoing follow-up. We provide:
-
Regular pressure checks
-
Optic nerve imaging
-
Visual field testing
-
Individualized treatment adjustments
-
Your care plan evolves with your needs to protect your vision for years to come.
What Are The Early Symptoms Of Glaucoma?
Most types of glaucoma have no early symptoms. Vision loss often begins in the peripheral vision and progresses slowly. Because symptoms are subtle—or completely absent—regular eye exams are essential.
