Glaucoma Treatments

Glaucoma is a progressive disease that slowly destroys optic nerve fibers and causes irreversible loss of eyesight. While there is no cure for glaucoma, there are several surgical procedures and pharmaceutical compounds designed to lower intraocular pressure, thereby slowing down the progression of the disease and alleviating discomfort.

As a full-service, vision care provider, Viso Lasik Medspas and its team of highly qualified doctors and surgeons offer a range of procedures designed to greatly improve the quality of life for glaucoma sufferers.

The good news is that a qualified eye care professional can easily detect glaucoma during regular eye exams, which are essential due to glaucoma having very few symptoms. Ophthalmologist and optometrists will typically diagnose glaucoma based on intraocular pressure, visual field results and optic nerve head appearance. Best of all, diagnosing glaucoma in its early stages drastically improves a patients’ chance at retaining better vision for a longer period of time. This is why regular visits to an eye care professional are vital to maintaining eye health.

More good news: Having glaucoma does not automatically rule a person out as a candidate for LASIK surgery. Today, vision care specialists at Viso Lasik Medspas, who are highly trained and utilize state-of-the-art technology, perform LASIK on glaucoma patients with outstanding results. As a comprehensive, full-service vision care facility, Viso Lasik Medspas has a variety of options for glaucoma patients.
