Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve that develops when the intraocular pressure (IOP) is higher than your optic nerve can tolerate. This generally painless condition can lead to blindness if not detected and managed appropriately. There are a number of treatments available for glaucoma including eye drops, laser treatments, and other surgical procedures.

We can identify whether you are at risk for glaucoma by reviewing your general or eye health history and performing a complete eye examination including a careful assessment of your optic nerve. Patients with a family history of glaucoma are at higher risk for the disease. Other factors such as myopia (nearsightedness), ethnicity, and age are also considered. If you have been told that you are a glaucoma suspect, then you will not necessarily go on to develop glaucoma, but may require specialized testing to evaluate your risk for progression.

If you have glaucoma, then the optometric physicians of Roosevelt Vision will help guide your treatment, following you with the utmost care. We incorporate advanced technology to determine if your condition is stable or worsening and to help you gain an understanding of your disease and treatment.
