Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma Treatment at Southaven Primary Eye Care

Glaucoma is a serious eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. Unfortunately, glaucoma typically presents with no early symptoms, making it crucial to undergo regular eye exams. Without early detection, it can lead to progressive vision loss and even blindness.

At Southaven Primary Eye Care, we monitor the health of your eyes through routine screenings, including measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), to detect any changes that could indicate glaucoma. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing permanent vision damage.

Common risk factors for glaucoma include:

• Family history of glaucoma

• Age (those over 60 are at higher risk)

• Elevated intraocular pressure

• Ethnic background (African American, Hispanic, and Asian populations are at higher risk)

If diagnosed with glaucoma, we offer a range of treatment options, from eye drops to advanced procedures, to help manage the condition and protect your vision.
