Glaucoma Eye Disease | American Laser Eye Hospitals

1. Glaucoma Eye Disease Glaucoma Eye Disease: Comprehensive Care at American Laser Eye Hospitals Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that can lead to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. It is caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP), which damages the optic nerve. At American Laser Eye Hospitals, we offer state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment solutions for Glaucoma Eye Disease, ensuring optimal eye health and vision preservation. Understanding Glaucoma

2. Glaucoma is often referred to as the "silent thief of sight" because it progresses gradually without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. By the time a patient experiences vision impairment, significant damage may have already occurred. It primarily affects individuals over 40, people with a family history of glaucoma, and those with conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Types of Glaucoma ● Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG): The most common form, where drainage canals become clogged over time, leading to increased eye pressure. Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A less common but more severe type that occurs suddenly due to blocked drainage, causing a rapid increase in IOP. Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Damage occurs to the optic nerve even though eye pressure remains within the normal range. Congenital Glaucoma: Present from birth, this type affects infants and requires immediate medical attention. ● ● ● Symptoms of Glaucoma While early stages of glaucoma are asymptomatic, advanced stages may include: ● ● ● ● ● Gradual loss of peripheral vision Blurred vision Severe eye pain (in acute cases) Headaches Halos around lights Advanced Glaucoma Diagnosis at American Laser Eye Hospitals Early detection is crucial for managing Glaucoma Eye Disease.
