The damage caused by glaucoma can’t be reversed. But treatment and regular checkups can help slow or prevent vision loss, especially if you catch the disease in its early stages.
When it comes to diagnosing and treating Glaucoma, our doctors will perform several tests, including:
Glaucoma is treated by lowering intraocular pressure. Treatment options starts from prescription eye drops to oral medicines, laser treatment and surgery or a combination of approaches.
Laser trabeculoplasty is an option if you can't tolerate eye drops. It also may be used if medicine hasn't slowed the progression of your disease.
This is a surgical procedure called a trabeculectomy. The eye surgeon creates an opening in the white of the eye, which also is known as the sclera. The surgery creates another space for fluid to leave the eye.
In this procedure, our eye surgeons will insert a small tube in your eye to drain excess fluid to lower eye pressure
The doctors may suggest this procedure to lower your eye pressure. These procedures generally require less immediate postoperative care and have less risk than trabeculectomy or using a drainage device. They are often combined with cataract surgery. There are a number of MIGS techniques available, and we will discuss which procedure may be right for you.
