Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma treatment & prevention are essential steps in protecting your long-term eye health and preventing irreversible vision loss. Often referred to as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, typically due to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).

What is Glaucoma?

Protect your Vision For Life

Glaucoma is not a single disease but a group of related eye conditions that result in damage to the optic nerve. This nerve is crucial for sending visual information from your eye to your brain. When the optic nerve becomes damaged—often from increased pressure inside the eye—it can lead to permanent vision loss.

Symptoms of cataracts are:

  • Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision, often unnoticed at first
  • Tunnel vision in later stages
  •  Blurred or hazy vision
  • Eye pain or pressure
  • Headaches, sometimes severe
  • Halos around lights, especially at night

 

Treatment Options:

If you’re diagnosed with glaucoma, treatment focuses on lowering eye pressure to prevent further optic nerve damage. At Advanced Eye Care Center, we offer a range of glaucoma treatment options, customized for each patient’s condition and lifestyle.

Options include:

  • Prescription Eye Drops
  • Oral Medications
  •  Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
  • Traditional Surgery

What To Expect

Glaucoma treatment focuses on lowering eye pressure to slow or prevent further vision loss. Most patients begin with prescription eye drops or laser procedures designed to improve fluid drainage in the eye. If glaucoma progresses, minimally invasive or traditional surgical options may be recommended to better control eye pressure. These treatments are typically outpatient and are carefully tailored to the type and severity of glaucoma. Ongoing follow-up care is essential, as glaucoma is a chronic condition that requires lifelong monitoring.

Dry Eye - Frequently Asked Questions

Can glaucoma be cured?

Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be effectively managed with early diagnosis and ongoing treatment to slow or prevent vision loss.

If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss, but most patients who follow their treatment plan maintain functional vision for life.

No, many types of glaucoma develop without noticeable symptoms, which is why routine eye exams are critical for early detection.

Treatment may include prescription eye drops, laser procedures, or surgery, depending on the type and severity of glaucoma.

Glaucoma procedures are typically performed with local anesthesia and are well tolerated, with minimal discomfort during recovery.

Because glaucoma is a chronic condition, regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor eye pressure and protect your vision long-term.
