What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is an eye condition that gradually damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. This damage can cause irreversible vision loss and, in severe cases, blindness.
The most concerning aspect of glaucoma is its silent nature. Many people don’t realize they have it until vision loss has already occurred.
Could You Be at Risk of Developing Glaucoma?
Certain factors increase the likelihood of developing glaucoma. These include:
- Being over 40 years old
- A family history of glaucoma
- Diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- African American, Hispanic, or Asian heritage
If you fall into any of these categories, regular Eye Health Wellness Assessments to detect glaucoma are critical to protect your vision.
The Value of Early Detection
Vision lost to glaucoma cannot be restored, but early detection can prevent further damage. At Advanced EyeCare in Durango, our Eye Health Wellness Assessment uses advanced imaging to identify the earliest signs of glaucoma.
This non-invasive assessment provides a detailed look at your optic nerve and other vital eye structures, giving us the ability to act quickly and preserve your sight.
Glaucoma Treatment Options
If glaucoma is detected, there are several effective treatments to manage the condition and prevent further vision loss:
- Eye Drops: Lower intraocular pressure to reduce nerve damage.
- Laser Therapy: Improve drainage to relieve pressure.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Advanced cases may require surgical intervention to protect vision.
Treatments are most successful when the disease is caught early.
