Ophthalmology
Glaucoma treatment
A group of conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually linked to elevated eye pressure, and a leading cause of irreversible vision loss if untreated.
Common symptoms
- Often no early symptoms
- Gradual loss of peripheral vision
- Found via routine eye pressure check
What it involves
Eye drops to lower eye pressure are the first line of treatment; laser or surgical options are used if drops aren't enough.
What to expect
Glaucoma can't be reversed, but treatment reliably slows or stops further vision loss — regular monitoring is lifelong.
