Glaucoma Surgery

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of the eye called the optic nerve.
Only way to find out you have glaucoma is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam.
No cure for glaucoma, but progression can be stopped, in other words, medication won’t undo the damage.
Later symptoms;
• peripheral loss of vision
• Blind spots
• Blindness- if not treated early.
Higher risk if you have a family history of glaucoma
Note:
• Glaucoma can happen in one eye or both eyes
• Some people with high eye pressure do not get glaucoma and there is a type of glaucoma that happens in people with normal eye pressure.
• Normal eye pressure varies by person, what is normal for one person could be high for another.
Management;
Eye drops
Surgery for later stages
