Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure. Treatment focuses on lowering this pressure to prevent vision loss. Common options include prescription eye drops that reduce fluid production or improve drainage in the eye. Oral medications may also be prescribed. In some cases, laser therapy or surgery can be employed to enhance fluid outflow or create new drainage pathways. Regular eye exams are crucial to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed, ensuring early detection and effective management to preserve vision.
