Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can cause damage to the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure within the eye (or intraocular pressure). This damage can lead to vision loss or blindness if not properly managed. Because glaucoma often has no early symptoms, regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and treatment.
Our friendly and experienced optometrists use the latest technology to diagnose and manage glaucoma, providing you with a personalized care plan that fits your needs. Whether you’re noticing symptoms or just coming in for an eye exam, we’re here to help you take great care of your eyes.
Glaucoma diagnosis & treatment
When you come in for a glaucoma exam in Madison, you’ll receive a thorough eye exam that includes tests like measuring your eye pressure and checking your optic nerve. If we find signs of glaucoma, we’ll use advanced imaging technology to get a detailed look at your eyes and create a customized treatment plan. Our team will work closely with you to determine the best course of treatment based on your vision needs and preferences.
Treatment might involve eye drops, oral medications, or even laser treatment to help lower the pressure in your eyes. In some cases where medication or laser therapy isn’t effective in controlling intraocular pressure, we may recommend surgery to protect your vision and stop glaucoma from getting worse. If surgery is needed, we’ll refer you to a trusted local surgeon and provide all the pre- and post-operative care you need to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome.
