Glaucoma Care
Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of vision loss, but with regular monitoring and the right treatment plan, it can often be managed before it causes serious damage.
We provide comprehensive glaucoma care to help detect changes early, lower eye pressure when needed, and protect the vision you have.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve, which is the part of the eye that sends visual information to the brain.
In many cases, glaucoma is linked to pressure inside the eye. When that pressure becomes too high, it can slowly damage the optic nerve over time. The difficult part is that glaucoma often has no early warning signs, which is why regular eye exams are so important.
Many people with glaucoma do not feel pain or notice vision changes at first. Vision loss can happen gradually, often affecting side vision before central vision.
That means you may not know anything is wrong until the condition has already progressed. A medical eye exam can help detect glaucoma earlier, before noticeable vision loss occurs.
Signs and symptoms may include:
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, or SLT, is an in-office laser treatment that can help lower eye pressure by improving how fluid drains from the eye.
For some patients, glaucoma procedures can be performed at the same time as cataract surgery. These options may help lower eye pressure and reduce the need for daily drops.
Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation, or ECP, is a laser treatment that helps reduce the amount of fluid the eye produces. It may be recommended for certain types of glaucoma and can sometimes be performed during cataract surgery.
If you have both cataracts and glaucoma, your doctor may discuss treatment options that address both conditions together. In some cases, a minimally invasive glaucoma procedure can be performed during cataract surgery to help manage eye pressure while improving cloudy vision from cataracts.
Glaucoma is usually a lifelong condition, but that does not mean vision loss is inevitable. With regular monitoring, early diagnosis, and the right treatment plan, many patients continue to maintain their vision and quality of life.
If you have been told you have high eye pressure, have a family history of glaucoma, or are noticing changes in your vision…
