Glaucoma Treatment

If your doctor suspects glaucoma, he will typically test your eyes in a variety of ways. First and foremost, he will test your visual acuity and measure the pressure in your eye. Regular and complete eye exams help to monitor the changes in your eyesight and will help to determine if glaucoma has developed. Your physician may also order a visual field examination, corneal thickness determination and optic nerve head analysis. Using laser technology and enhanced computer imagery, we are often able to diagnose and detect problems before a patient begins to experience vision loss.

Treatment to control glaucoma is aimed at lowering intraocular pressure. This may be achieved through a variety of means, but typically involves either eye drops or laser surgery. If response to more conservative measures fail, glaucoma surgery can be used to successfully lower intraocular pressure.
