UNDERSTANDING GLAUCOMA

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which carries vital visual information from the eye to the brain.

In many cases, glaucoma is associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP), although it can also occur when eye pressure is within the normal range.

Often called the 'silent thief of sight,' early glaucoma produces few or no noticeable symptoms. Routine comprehensive eye examinations are essential to protect against irreversible vision loss.

ImportantDamage to the optic nerve from glaucoma cannot currently be reversed. Treatment aims to slow or prevent further vision loss.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Glaucoma Care FAQs

Can glaucoma be cured?

Damage to the optic nerve caused by glaucoma is generally irreversible. However, treatment can lower eye pressure and help slow or prevent further damage.

Does glaucoma always cause symptoms?

No. Open-angle glaucoma, the most common form, often develops gradually without noticeable symptoms during its early stages.

Is high eye pressure the same as glaucoma?

No. Some people have elevated eye pressure without optic nerve damage, while others can develop glaucoma despite pressure readings within the statistically normal range. Diagnosis requires a complete eye assessment.

Who should be screened for glaucoma?

Regular comprehensive eye examinations become particularly important with increasing age and for people with risk factors such as a family history of glaucoma, elevated eye pressure or certain medical and ocular conditions.

Will I need glaucoma treatment for life?

Glaucoma is usually a long-term condition requiring ongoing monitoring. The type and duration of treatment depend on the individual patient and how the condition responds.

Does every glaucoma patient need surgery?

No. Many patients are managed with medication or laser treatment. Surgery may be considered when adequate pressure control is not achieved or when clinically appropriate.

Can lost vision from glaucoma return after treatment?

Existing glaucoma-related optic nerve damage usually cannot be reversed. This is why early detection and prevention of additional damage are especially important.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Don't Wait for Glaucoma
to Affect Your Vision

Glaucoma can progress quietly. If you have increased eye pressure, a family history of glaucoma or other risk factors, a comprehensive glaucoma evaluation can help assess your optic nerve health and determine whether monitoring or treatment is needed.
