Glaucoma Management

Glaucoma is a condition that causes progressive damage to the optic nerves, often due to elevated intraocular pressure. If left untreated, glaucoma can result in permanent vision loss and blindness. At Revere Health, we offer comprehensive glaucoma management aimed at controlling eye pressure, slowing the progression of the disease, and protecting your vision.

How Glaucoma Affects Vision
Optic Nerve Damage: The optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain, becomes damaged over time, leading to vision loss.
Increased Eye Pressure: Glaucoma is often associated with high intraocular pressure, though some forms of the disease occur with normal pressure levels.
Vision Loss: Glaucoma typically starts with peripheral vision loss, but without treatment, it can progress to total blindness.

Treatment Options for Glaucoma
Medications: Prescription eye drops or oral medications are used to lower eye pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
Laser Therapy: Laser procedures, such as laser trabeculoplasty, can help improve drainage in the eye and lower pressure.
Surgery: In more advanced cases, surgical options like trabeculectomy or glaucoma drainage devices are used to create new drainage pathways for fluid in the eye, reducing pressure.
Regular Monitoring: Frequent eye exams are crucial to monitor disease progression and adjust treatments as necessary.

Benefits of Glaucoma Management
Preserves Vision: Early and ongoing treatment can prevent or slow vision loss.
Prevents Blindness: With proper management, the risk of severe vision loss and blindness is significantly reduced.
Tailored Care: Individualized treatment plans ensure that each patient receives the most effective care for their condition.
