Treatment

(drops and laser)

Glaucoma treatment is done to reduce intraocular pressure. The doctors at Advanced Valley Eye Associates treat glaucoma with eye drops or laser surgery. During glaucoma surgery your doctor will either expand the existing drainage area within the eye to ease pressure, or make a new drainage area to free the fluid. Contact us at Advanced Valley Eye Associates to learn more about glaucoma or what treatment that is best for you.

Remember, vision loss from glaucoma is permanent and blinding, but can usually be prevented with early detection and treatment by an ophthalmologist. Regular eye exams are especially important for people over 35, or those in other high risk groups.
