Glaucoma Screening & Treatment

Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a serious eye disease that optometry professionals treat regularly. Glaucoma is the result of high intraocular pressure. When the condition is left untreated, glaucoma can lead to blindness. For this reason, you must get an early diagnosis and treatment. One of the most difficult things about glaucoma is that it is often not painful. Many people do not feel the impact of glaucoma until they begin to lose vision, which our eye doctor emphasizes the importance of diagnosing this condition early.

Glaucoma Screening & Diagnosis

Two types of tests can measure the internal pressure of your eye. One test involves a small puff of air, and another uses a device to touch the surface of the eye for a quick measurement of the eye's pressure. Diagnosing glaucoma also involves dilation of the pupils to see the inner structures of the eye. If the pressure test reveals that glaucoma is a possibility, our optometrist will perform more thorough eye exams to look for additional signs that something is wrong. Our doctor will also rule out other eye diseases.

Treatment Options for Glaucoma

Several treatment options can help you get help for this condition. Our optometrist may recommend conventional surgery, laser surgery, or medicated eye drops based on your disease's progression. Surgery is often successful at relieving the pressure of the fluid in the eyes, preventing the issue from flaring up again in the future. Failing to follow through with glaucoma treatment can lead to permanent loss of vision, which means you may not be able to drive, work, or perform other crucial tasks.
