Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve that can cause blindness. Early symptoms of the disease are difficult to notice, and it is important for patients over the age of 45 to have yearly eye examinations that include glaucoma testing. Early detection and careful management are the keys to minimizing damage to your eyesight from glaucoma.
If you suffer from glaucoma, Summit Eye Clinic can provide the care needed to appropriately treat your eye condition and prevent vision loss.
Diagnosis and TreatmentWe use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose and treat glaucoma. A series of tests measuring the pressure within your eye, the health of your optic nerve, the condition of your retina, and your peripheral vision are used in the diagnosis.
Summit Eye Clinic offers several glaucoma treatments, including medicine, laser treatments and surgery. Treatment generally begins with eye drop medicines. Depending on the type of glaucoma you have, one or more methods may be used to control damage to your sight.
Summit Eye Clinic offers the highest standard of glaucoma care, with the latest treatments performed by experienced, well-trained physicians.
