Glaucoma Diagnosis & Co-management
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can cause permanent vision loss and even blindness. It affects the optic nerve, which sends visual messages from the eye to the brain. Our eye doctors at Family Eye Care in Bristol can diagnose glaucoma during your regular eye exam and recommend treatment to manage its symptoms.
Detecting glaucoma early to prevent vision loss
Glaucoma is often referred to as the “silent thief of sight” because it doesn’t usually have any symptoms in the early stages. By the time you notice changes in your vision, significant damage may have already occurred. It’s crucial to detect and treat glaucoma early to prevent vision loss. Once eyesight is lost to glaucoma, it can’t be restored. At Family Eye Care, we use the latest and most advanced technology to detect glaucoma in its early stages.
Glaucoma treatment & surgery co-management
While there’s no cure for glaucoma, early treatment can help slow down or reduce its negative effects. If glaucoma is detected, our eye doctor will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. If surgery is necessary, we’ll refer you to an ophthalmologist in the area and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your recovery after the procedure.
