Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that causes a build-up of intraocular pressure (IOP) within the eye. The increase in pressure can result in damage to the optic nerve that attributes to vision loss associated with glaucoma. Although it cannot be treated, glaucoma can be managed. Early detection can prevent severe vision loss or blindness by alleviating the intraocular pressure (IOP) avoiding further damage to the optic nerve.
Symptoms
Glaucoma can often go unnoticed because patients may not experience any clear symptoms until late in the disease. This makes early detection crucial to identify the underlying signs of glaucoma and begin to manage its negative effects.
Patients over 40 years of age should get an eye exam atleast once every two years. However, it is ideal to book annual eye exams to detect glaucoma and other eye-related diseases at the earliest stage.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms seek immediate medical attention. The gradual loss of peripheral vision is the primary indicator of glaucoma. If left untreated, vision will continue to decline causing permanent damage to the eye. There are instances where the pressure inside the eye can quickly rise to extreme levels resulting in rapid vision loss.

Treatment
There are a variety of options for management and prevention of vision loss caused by glaucoma. The treatment options are dependent on the type and causes of glaucoma.
Our optometrists may prescribe medication or suggest surgery to alleviate and control the intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye. This can prevent vision loss by decreasing the rate of progression of the disease.
