What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that cause vision loss from damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma is often called “the silent thief of sight,” as symptoms can appear so gradually that you do not realize you are losing your vision until it is too late.

Proper testing procedures performed during comprehensive eye exams can pinpoint early signs of glaucoma. Although there is no cure for glaucoma, early treatment can prevent further damage and save your vision.

Different Types of Glaucoma

Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

Angle-Closure Glaucoma

Secondary Glaucoma

Normal-Tension Glaucoma

Glaucoma Treatment

There are a variety of treatments for glaucoma that can help preserve your vision. The earlier glaucoma is detected, the sooner treatment can begin – which significantly increases your chance of efficacy.

Common treatments for glaucoma include:

  • Medication, including prescription eye drops
  • Laser treatment
  • Surgery
