Glaucoma
Glaucoma is an eye disease that can lead to progressive vision loss if not treated early. This can occur painlessly without any noticeable symptoms. Vision loss in glaucoma happens when the optic nerve is damaged often from increased eye pressure.
New technological advancements available in our office allow us to detect early signs of glaucoma before any vision impairment has occurred. In cases where treatment is necessary, our doctors are trained and experienced in managing glaucoma cases.
