No Pain, No Warning
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for good vision. This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in your eye.
The most common form, open-angle glaucoma, has no initial symptoms. It develops slowly and often goes unnoticed until significant vision loss has occurred.
Who is at Risk?
- People over age 60
- Family history of glaucoma
- Diabetics
- Those with high nearsightedness
Early Detection is Key
Vision lost to glaucoma cannot be recovered. That's why regular eye exams are critical. We use advanced technology like OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) to scan your optic nerve and detect changes years before they affect your vision.
Managing Glaucoma
While there is no cure, glaucoma can be managed with eye drops, laser treatment, or surgery to lower eye pressure and halt further damage. Our team specializes in the long-term management of this condition to preserve your sight for life.
