Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. It’s known for being the sneak thief of sight, because it usually shows no symptoms in its early stages. The best way for early detection and treatment is through regular eye examinations. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most common risk factor, but some glaucoma patients have normal intraocular pressure. Increased eye pressure damages the optic nerve and leads to permanent vision loss. If diagnosed with Glaucoma the goal is to lower the intraocular pressure so that further progression of the disease and visual loss is decreased. Treatment options include laser treatment, eye drops and surgery. There are genetic predispositions for glaucoma.
