General Information 

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. Early detection can lead to the best outlook and can help preserve vision, fortunately. This makie routine appointments with an optometrist or ophthalmologist important in detecting it early.  

Glaucoma occurs when you have damage to the optic nerve, the back portion of your eye that communicates with the brain. It often occurs when there's too much pressure from the fluid in the eye. 

As you age, developing glaucoma becomes more and more likely. 

Symptoms 

The most common type of glaucoma is open-angle, which may cause you to have in your peripheral vision. Eventually, this form may cause you to have tunnel vision, meaning you lose your peripheral sight.

On the other hand, you could develop acute angle-closure glaucoma. This form is a medical emergency and requires you to receive immediate medical attention. The symptoms of it are as follows:

  • Seeing halos
  • Having severe headaches
  • Noticing your vision is blurry suddenly
  • Looking in the mirror and seeing your eyes are red
  • Experiencing nausea or vomiting

Treatment 

We emphasize the importance of routine screenings, especially since glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the U.S. For these tests, we perform an evaluation to test your interocular pressure. Other testing may be recommended as well. 

When caught early, the first step is eye drops to decrease the pressure in your eye. As it progresses, our optometrist or ophthalmologist may do any of the following:

  • Prescribe medication to control eye pressure
  • Refer you for surgery 
  • Continue to monitor your condition
