What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which plays a critical role in transmitting visual information to the brain. This damage is often associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP), though it can occur even when pressure levels appear normal.
Without proper treatment, glaucoma can lead to gradual loss of peripheral vision and, eventually, permanent vision loss.
Early Detection Is the Key to Preventing Vision Loss
Glaucoma rarely presents symptoms in its early stages. Routine eye exams remain the most effective way to detect changes before vision is affected. We use advanced testing to evaluate eye pressure, optic nerve health, and visual function, including:
- Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Testing: Measures pressure inside the eye to identify elevation.
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Captures detailed images of the optic nerve to detect early damage.
- Visual Field Testing: Evaluates peripheral vision, which is often affected first.
- Pachymetry (Corneal Thickness Measurement): Helps assess risk and refine diagnosis.
Early diagnosis allows for proactive treatment, which can significantly slow or prevent vision loss.
Glaucoma Treatment Options
While glaucoma cannot be cured, it can be effectively managed. Treatment focuses on lowering intraocular pressure to protect the optic nerve and preserve vision.
Prescription eye drops are often the first step in treatment and may include:
- Prostaglandin analogs to improve fluid drainage
- Beta blockers to reduce fluid production
- Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors to decrease buildup
- Alpha agonists to support both drainage and production control
We carefully monitor your response to treatment and make adjustments as needed to maintain optimal pressure levels.
Schedule Your Glaucoma Screening
Early detection makes a lasting difference. If you have risk factors or have not had a recent eye exam, now is the time to take a proactive step. Call our eye clinic or book online to schedule your glaucoma screening in Coral Springs.
