Glaucoma Treatment

What Is the Best Treatment for Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss. There are several different types of glaucoma, and the best treatment will vary depending on the type and severity of the condition. Treatment options include medication to reduce intraocular pressure, surgery to improve the drainage of fluid from the eye, and laser therapy to decrease the production of fluid in the eye. In some cases, a combination of these treatments may be necessary to achieve the best results. With early diagnosis and treatment, it is often possible to slow or even stop the progression of glaucoma and preserve vision. Dr. Leroy Vaughn has provided residents of Inglewood, CA, with glaucoma treatment services for many years.

Surgery

There are a variety of different surgical procedures that can be used to treat glaucoma. Surgery involves creating a new drainage channel for the fluid in your eye, which can help to lower eye pressure. Laser surgery is another option that can be used to treat glaucoma. This type of surgery involves using a laser to create a new drainage channel for the fluid in your eye. Laser surgery is less invasive than traditional surgery, and it often has fewer side effects. 

What Happens If You Don’t Get Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can lead to blindness if left untreated. There are several different types of glaucoma, and the best course of treatment will vary depending on the type and severity of the condition. In general, however, early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent vision loss. 

Once glaucoma has been diagnosed, a variety of medical and surgical treatments may be used to lower eye pressure and protect the optic nerve. In some cases, medication may be sufficient to control the condition. However, surgery may also be necessary to prevent further damage to the eye. With early diagnosis and proper treatment, it is possible to preserve vision and prevent blindness from glaucoma.
