What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the eye’s optic nerve and can result in vision loss and blindness.
The two major categories of glaucoma are Open angle glaucoma and Narrow angle glaucoma. The “angle” means drainage angle inside the eye that controls the outflow of the watery fluid which is produced inside the eye.
The “Laser Eye Surgery“ center provides all inclusive glaucoma attention and second opinion services for several types of glaucoma. Glaucoma is frequently known as the “silent thief of sight” because most varieties generally cause no pain and create no symptoms until noticeable vision loss happens. Because of this, glaucoma frequently advances undetected until the optic nerve has already been irreversibly damaged, with varying levels of long term vision reduction.
Advances in our ability to image small structures within the eye and their relationships to one another are rapidly altering our understanding of the disease. This research has been the core of the Ocular Imaging Center, where new diagnostic tools are advancing our understanding of the causes of glaucoma.
Our ophthalmologists focus on the care and treatment of individuals who have glaucoma. Innovative, state of the art diagnostic services include computerized visual field testing, optic nerve imaging and several types of blood flow dimension as well as additional specialized imaging strategies.
We take care of babies,children and grownups and all types of glaucoma, whether major or associated to complicated vision problems. Clinical treatment, laser treatments and surgeries for glaucoma can be found here.
