Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases characterized by the damage to the optic nerve leading to vision loss. Glaucoma can be treated with medications, laser surgery, or traditional surgery, depending on the individual patient and form of the disease. Medication is usually the first line of treatment, with the goal of reducing intraocular pressure, controlling the progression of the disease and preventing vision loss. Laser surgery is a non-invasive procedure that helps to reduce intraocular pressure and control glaucoma. Traditional surgery involves creating a new drainage channel to reduce intraocular pressure. The goal of treatment is to slow or prevent additional vision loss and maintain current vision. Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma are important to prevent vision loss.
