Since early diagnosis and monitoring are such important parts of glaucoma management, we make sure our expert team always has the best technology available. We use optical coherence tomography to help us see the inside of your eye and check for any signs of glaucoma — even if you haven’t experienced symptoms. We also use our tonometer to check your eye’s pressure during every visit to make sure your optic nerve is in the clear.

FAQ’s
What Causes Glaucoma?
Glaucoma can be caused by various factors, such as increased intraocular pressure (IOP), a family history of the condition, age, medical conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, and certain medications. However, the exact cause of glaucoma is still not fully understood.
Can Glaucoma Be Cured?
Currently, there is no known cure for glaucoma. Early detection and appropriate treatment can help slow down the progression of the disease, preserve remaining vision, and prevent further damage. Treatment options include eye drops, medications, laser therapy, and surgery to manage intraocular pressure (IOP) and preserve vision.
How Many Types of Glaucoma Are There?
There are several types of glaucoma, but the two main types are primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the most common form, and angle-closure glaucoma, the second most common type.
