How Do We Treat and Monitor Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. Early detection and ongoing management are key to preventing vision loss.
 

Treatment

Usually begins with eye drops that lower the eye pressure by either reducing the amount of fluid produced or improving its drainage. If eye drops are not enough, other options include laser therapy or surgery to help lower pressure and protect the optic nerve.

Monitoring 

Glaucoma involves regular eye exams to measure eye pressure, check the health of the optic nerve, and test your peripheral vision. These exams help your eye doctor track any changes and adjust treatment as needed.  With timely treatment and consistent follow-up, most people with glaucoma can maintain their vision and live full, active lives.
