Glaucoma, often called the “silent thief of sight,” can severely impact your vision, but with our expert care, you can combat this condition. With cutting-edge technology and personalized treatments, our eye doctors safeguard your vision and provide hope for glaucoma patients.
Glaucoma Explained
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases characterized by increased pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure), which can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. Glaucoma often progresses slowly and without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making regular eye exams crucial for early detection and intervention. Left untreated, it can result in irreversible vision damage and even blindness.
Identifying the Risk Factors
Glaucoma can arise from a combination of various factors, including:
- High pressure within the eye due to improper fluid drainage
- Advancing age (especially after 60)
- Ethnicity (African, Hispanic, and Asian heritage)
- Family history of glaucoma
- Medical conditions (diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease)
- Injuries to the eye
- Prolonged use of steroids (eye drop form)
- Extreme nearsightedness
- Eye anatomy
It's important to note that while these factors can increase your risk, glaucoma can still develop without any apparent cause.
