Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to high eye pressure. It can lead to vision loss if not detected and treated early. There are several types of glaucoma, including:
- Open-Angle Glaucoma: The most common form, which progresses slowly and often without symptoms.
- Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A less common but more acute form, which can cause sudden symptoms and requires immediate attention.
- Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Occurs despite normal eye pressure and requires careful monitoring.
What to Expect During Your Glaucoma Management Appointment
When you visit Optiqueye for glaucoma management, you can expect a thorough evaluation and personalized care:
- Comprehensive Eye Exam: We conduct a detailed eye exam to assess your overall eye health and identify any signs of glaucoma.
- Intraocular Pressure Measurement: Using advanced tools, we measure the pressure inside your eyes to detect any abnormalities.
- Optic Nerve Assessment: We examine your optic nerve for signs of damage, using imaging technologies such as optical coherence tomography (OCT).
- Visual Field Test: This test helps us evaluate any vision loss caused by glaucoma.
Glaucoma Treatment Options
- Medications: Prescription eye drops can help lower eye pressure and prevent further damage.
- Laser Treatment: Procedures like laser trabeculoplasty can improve fluid drainage and reduce eye pressure.
