Glaucoma Care & Management
At Kings Eye Center, protecting your sight is our top priority. Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can quietly harm vision over time, which is why early detection is essential. Using advanced imaging and diagnostic technology, our team identifies glaucoma in its earliest stages and creates individualized treatment plans—including medications, laser options, and surgical procedures—to help maintain your vision and quality of life. You can count on our experienced, compassionate team to support you every step of the way.
Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma refers to a collection of eye diseases that gradually damage the optic nerve, often linked to elevated internal eye pressure. Without proper care, this damage can lead to irreversible vision loss. Kings Eye Center is dedicated to helping patients understand this condition and offering effective long-term management to preserve lifelong vision.
Forms of Glaucoma:
Several variations of glaucoma exist, each impacting the eye differently:
- Primary open-angle glaucoma: A slow-developing form in which fluid drains poorly, causing gradual vision decline.
- Acute angle-closure glaucoma: A sudden and severe blockage of fluid outflow that rapidly increases pressure, requiring prompt treatment.
- Normal-pressure glaucoma: Optic nerve damage occurs even though pressure readings remain within the typical range.
- Secondary glaucoma: Triggered by another issue such as trauma, inflammation, medications, or underlying disease.
Signs You May Have Glaucoma:
Glaucoma often advances quietly, but potential indicators include:
- Loss of peripheral (side) vision
- Narrowing or “tunnel-like” vision in advanced cases
- Strong eye discomfort or headaches
- Blurred vision or light halos
