Once glaucoma is diagnosed, the primary goal of treatment is to lower eye pressure and slow or stop further damage to the optic nerve, since vision already lost to glaucoma cannot be restored. Most patients begin with a personalized regimen of prescription eye drops designed to reduce eye pressure and protect the optic nerve.
Glaucoma management isn't a one-time treatment — it's an ongoing partnership. We regularly monitor your eye pressure, optic nerve health, and visual field over time, adjusting your treatment plan as needed to keep your glaucoma well controlled and minimize side effects from medication.
Our aim throughout is to preserve as much of your vision and quality of life as possible for the long term, using the least invasive approach that effectively controls your disease.
