Glaucoma Screening & Management FAQs for Garden Grove Patients
What is glaucoma?+
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually due to elevated eye pressure. This damage causes gradual, irreversible vision loss starting with peripheral vision. Early detection and treatment can prevent or slow progression.
Who is at risk for glaucoma?+
Risk factors include age over 40, family history, African American/Hispanic/Asian heritage, high eye pressure, thin corneas, previous eye injuries, and long-term steroid use. Regular screening is important for anyone with risk factors.
Can glaucoma be cured?+
Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be effectively controlled. Treatment focuses on lowering eye pressure to prevent further optic nerve damage. With proper treatment, most patients maintain useful vision throughout their lives.
What treatments are available for glaucoma?+
Treatment typically starts with medicated eye drops to lower eye pressure. If drops are insufficient, laser treatments (SLT) or surgical options may be recommended. We coordinate with glaucoma surgeons for advanced cases.
How often should I be screened for glaucoma?+
Adults over 40 should have a comprehensive eye exam every 1-2 years that includes glaucoma screening. Those with risk factors or diagnosed glaucoma need more frequent monitoring—typically every 3-6 months.
