Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve of the eye and results in gradual and permanent loss of peripheral (side) vision if left untreated. Glaucoma can be painless, and certain types of glaucoma have no significant symptoms until it becomes advanced. The pressure inside the eye (IOP) is commonly elevated in people with glaucoma, but IOP can be normal in certain types of glaucoma as well. It is important to have a dilated eye exam routinely to prevent delays in the discovery of glaucoma. There are different types of treatment for glaucoma, ranging from eye drops to surgery. Dr. Tai will tailor your treatment plan based on the stage of your disease and lifestyle.
