Glaucoma treatment.

Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve, which is the part of the eye that carries the images we see from the eye to the brain. Glaucoma occurs when fluid buildup in the eye causes excessive intraocular pressure. Many patients are not aware they have glaucoma until they suffer a loss of vision, which is why regular eye exams are so important. Although many people fear this potentially sight-damaging condition, early diagnosis and treatment can help maintain your vision for a lifetime.

If glaucoma is detected during your eye exam with Dr. Eisner, he will outline a treatment plan that may include medical management, pressure-reducing eyedrops or advanced laser treatment. For more advanced cases of glaucoma, you will be referred to a board-certified and fellowship- trained ophthalmologist who specializes in glaucoma surgery. This eye surgeon is conveniently located onsite, and Dr. Eisner will co-manage your case every step of the way.
