Glaucoma Diagnosis & Treatment
Glaucoma is a condition that can damage the optic nerve, often due to high pressure inside the eye. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. Glaucoma usually doesn’t show symptoms until the damage is already done, which is why regular eye exams are essential for detecting it early on! With regular check-ups and early treatment, it is possible to slow or even stop the progression of the disease and maintain your sight.
Glaucoma treatment in Delaware
Treatment for glaucoma depends on the type and severity of the disease and can include medication such as eye drops or pills or laser or traditional surgery. With the right treatment, many people with glaucoma can maintain good vision for years to come.
