For You

Recommended For

We recommend a consultation if you have any of the following concerns

Patients diagnosed with glaucoma After glaucoma diagnosis, customized step-by-step treatment with medication, laser, and surgery slows optic nerve damage progression.

Patients with high intraocular pressure Elevated intraocular pressure beyond normal range is managed with medication and laser treatment to prevent optic nerve damage.

Those over 40 with cardiovascular disease or myopia If you are over 40 with cardiovascular disease or myopia, regular checkups are essential due to higher glaucoma risk.

Those who feel their visual field is narrowing Gradually narrowing visual field is a hallmark sign of glaucoma; early detection minimizes optic nerve damage.

Patients with Family History of Glaucoma A family history of glaucoma increases risk 3-4x, so regular eye exams from your 30s are recommended.

Those with difficulty controlling eye pressure with medication alone When eye drops alone cannot adequately control IOP, laser treatment or surgical methods effectively manage pressure.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions before your visit

Q. Why must glaucoma treatment be continuous?Glaucoma cannot be cured, requiring continuous treatment. Irregular or discontinued treatment can lead to rapid progression and blindness.

Q. Can glaucoma be cured with treatment?The goal is to slow progression, not cure. Treatment maintains normal eye pressure to prevent optic nerve damage.

Q. Can glaucoma occur in your 20s-30s?Yes. In young patients, it's often discovered during refractive surgery screening. Risk increases for those over 40, with cardiovascular disease, or myopia.

Q. Does glaucoma lead to blindness?Glaucoma can't be cured but progression can be stopped with proper pressure control. Late detection or failed control risks blindness.

Q. Does high eye pressure always mean glaucoma?High pressure without optic nerve/visual field damage is not glaucoma. Corneal thickness can cause falsely high readings.
