January is Glaucoma Awareness Month!
Did you know that Glaucoma is the silent thief of sight? Why you ask, because it can often go undetected before symptoms become present, therefore, leading to permanent damage or vision loss.
What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye from fluid buildup, leading to gradual vision loss, typically starting with peripheral (side) vision, and potentially blindness if untreated.
The best form of early detection and treatment is by scheduling your routine eye exams.
Our office treats all forms of glaucoma whether it be via topical medications, laser procedures, or through surgical intervention. Many treatments and diagnostic testing are performed in office and all surgical procedures are performed locally.
