Frequently Asked Questions:
What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure in the eye. Early treatment is crucial because glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss if not managed promptly. At Martin’s Eyecare, we focus on early detection and personalized treatment to protect your vision.
How is glaucoma detected at Martin’s Eyecare?
Glaucoma is detected through comprehensive eye exams that include tests such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanning, gonioscopy, tonometry (eye pressure measurement), and visual field testing. These advanced tools help us identify early signs of glaucoma, even before symptoms appear.
What treatment options are available for glaucoma?
Treatment options at Martin’s Eyecare include prescription eye drops to lower intraocular pressure, referrals for laser therapy, and surgical options if needed. We work closely with ophthalmologists to ensure a seamless transition to advanced care when necessary.
What are the symptoms of glaucoma?
In its early stages, glaucoma often has no noticeable symptoms. As it progresses, you may experience loss of peripheral vision, tunnel vision, blurred vision, halos around lights, and eye pain. Regular screenings are essential because glaucoma can develop without warning signs.
