Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which cause damage to the optic nerve and can result in vision loss and blindness. Glaucoma is often referred to as silent blinding disease as vision loss may not be detected early due to lack of symptoms.
Risk Factors :
High eye pressure, blood pressure, positive family history, trauma etc.
Symptoms :
In the beginning, there may not be any symptoms, and therefore it is important to get annual comprehensive eye exams. In cases of high eye pressure; pain, blurred vision and haloes around lights may be noted.
Treatment :
If diagnosed at an early stage serious vision loss can be prevented by treatment. The treatment for glaucoma includes prescription eye drops, laser treatment or even surgery.
At 20/20 Eye Care, we diagnose, treat and manage various forms of glaucoma with gold standard and most technologically advanced instrumentation.
