What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve. Treatment can slow the progression of the disease. Untreated glaucoma can eventually lead to blindness, so seeking treatment and intervention is imperative as soon as a diagnosis is made. Glaucoma can be caused by pressure in the eye that puts strain on the optic nerve. Symptoms of glaucoma can include blurry vision, eye pain, and seeing halos around light. An optometrist from our team can diagnose glaucoma after you receive an eye exam.

Treatment Options for Glaucoma

Luckily, we have a lot of options for glaucoma treatment. We will start with eye drop medication that helps keep the pressure in your eyes under control by reducing liquid production. We will provide you with all of your options for treating glaucoma at our office and we can even help introduce you to an ophthalmologist for eye surgery. 

Managing Glaucoma

Although glaucoma is not curable, you can still live a normal life with it. One of the best methods to manage glaucoma is to have regular eye exams at one of our locations in Florida. We'll be able to monitor your symptoms and ensure your condition is not worsening. We might also recommend various lifestyle changes to complement our treatment at the office. These might include regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking. If you need eye surgery, we can help put you in contact with an ophthalmologist.
