What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure). This damage can lead to gradual vision loss, starting with peripheral vision and potentially progressing to complete blindness if untreated. While glaucoma can affect anyone, it is more common in individuals over 60, those with a family history of the condition, patients on certain medications or with particular medical diseasess, or people with specific eye anatomy (like narrow angles).
The most common types of glaucoma include open-angle glaucoma, which develops slowly over time, and angle-closure glaucoma, which can occur suddenly and requires immediate medical attention. Early detection and treatment are critical to preserving vision and preventing further damage.
Comprehensive Glaucoma Treatment Options
At Caruana Eye Care, we offer a range of advanced treatments to manage glaucoma and protect your vision. The goal of glaucoma treatment is to lower intraocular pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve. Dr. Albert Caruana will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
For many patients, glaucoma can be managed with medicated eye drops that reduce eye pressure by improving fluid drainage or decreasing fluid production. In cases where eye drops are not sufficient, we may recommend laser therapy or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) to improve fluid outflow and control intraocular pressure. These advanced procedures are designed to be effective while minimizing recovery time and discomfort.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Glaucoma often progresses without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, which is why it’s known as the "silent thief of sight." Regular eye exams are essential for detecting glaucoma early, especially if you are at higher risk. Early diagnosis allows for timely intervention, which can slow or halt the progression of the disease and preserve your vision.
