Glaucoma Clinic & Surgery

Glaucoma Clinic and Surgery

Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. It often has no symptoms in the early stages. Glaucoma can happen to anyone. It occurs when the pressure within the eye (IOP) is high for prolonged periods. This results in painless and progressive damage to the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss.

Treatment of Glaucoma
Vision loss from glaucoma is not reversible with treatment. The symptoms of glaucoma can also be mild or even non-existent until the disease has silently and gradually worsened to a severe stage. This is why regular eye exams are important. The glaucoma specialists at City Eye Hospital provide extensive glaucoma eye care that comprises glaucoma evaluation and testing, and management of intraocular pressure and treatment.
