Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide — and often develops gradually, without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. That’s why regular comprehensive eye exams are critical for early glaucoma detection and treatment.

At Bissell Eye Care, we use advanced diagnostic tools such as Optovue OCT angiography testing to provide detailed images of the optic nerve and retina, allowing us to identify signs of glaucoma early.

Treatment Options for Glaucoma

While there is no cure for glaucoma, prompt treatment can help slow or prevent further vision loss. Our glaucoma care includes:

• Prescription eye drops to reduce eye pressure
• Oral medications in certain cases
• Coordination with trusted specialists for surgical treatment if necessary
• Ongoing monitoring to adjust treatment plans based on disease progression

Our goal is to protect your vision and quality of life through personalized glaucoma management and regular follow-up care.
