Glaucoma Evaluation & Treatment

Glaucoma refers to a family of eye diseases where the fluid pressure increases inside the eye, causing irreversible nerve fiber damage of the retina. It is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the U.S. There is no pain, no noticeable symptoms, and no cure. The good news is that it can be controlled if detected early.

Our office has the state-of-the-art Zeiss Cirrus High-Definition OCT. This instrument scans and measures the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layers, providing the earliest possible detection of glaucoma. The diagnosis and evaluation of glaucoma is also aided by the use of our new high- resolution digital retinal photographs and measurement of the corneal thickness using ultrasound (Pachymetry). 

Don’t delay in calling our office if you have any concerns regarding your eyes and glaucoma.
