Glaucoma Treatment

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders which can cause progressive damage to the optic nerve and eventual loss of vision. Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of this disease and is associated with an increase in the fluid pressure within the eye. This increase in pressure may cause progressive damage to the optic nerve through the loss of optic nerve fibers. Advanced glaucoma may even cause blindness (second leading cause of blindness in the U. S. and most often occurs in people over 40). High eye pressure alone does not mean that a person will develop glaucoma, and many people who have normal eye pressure may develop other forms of glaucoma.

Currently, glaucoma cannot be prevented, but when diagnosed and treated early, it can be controlled. Medication or surgery can slow or prevent additional vision loss, but vision already lost cannot be restored. If you are at risk for glaucoma you should have an annual eye exam as a preventive health measure.

How is Glaucoma Treated?

The primary purpose of treating glaucoma is to reduce the intraocular pressure. The most common first line treatment of glaucoma is usually prescription eye drops that must be taken regularly. In some cases, systemic medications, laser treatment, or other surgery may be required. While there is no cure as yet for glaucoma, early diagnosis and continuing treatment can preserve eyesight.

 

My dad had glaucoma, he lost 95% of his right eye vision! Thankfully we found Zeiter Medical Group and now he has recovered his vision about 85%! I highly recommend them!
