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.
