TYPES OF GLAUCOMA AND TREATMENT OPTIONS


Glaucoma, known as the silent threat, is commonly associated with slow, progressive loss of peripheral vision. Glaucoma is painless and usually not noticed by the patient. It is a leading cause of blindness, and risk increases with age. Regular testing is important for identifying those at risk and monitoring glaucoma treatment plans. There are many types of glaucoma – some with genetic predisposition and others without – including:

Open Angle Glaucoma
Very common (most common in the United States). Risk factors include race, family history, hypertension, diabetes, appearance of the optic nerve and eye pressure. Therapy usually includes eyedrops but may also involve specialized glaucoma surgery, including laser eye surgery. Only a thorough examination can determine if you have glaucoma.

Narrow Angle Glaucoma
Somewhat uncommon in the United States, but much more common in Asian countries. Patients may complain of eye pain, headache, halos around lights and nausea. Definitive laser treatment for glaucoma is usually helpful for this condition.
