Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition associated with higher-than-normal fluid pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure or IOP) that is causing damage to the optic nerve. The condition affects more than two million Americans, and half of those are unaware they even have the disease!

Glaucoma is characterized by damage to the optic nerve with slow vision loss over time. When enough nerve damage has taken place, blind spots begin to develop in the field of vision. Unfortunately, most people don’t notice these blind spots until irreversible damage is done. For this reason, glaucoma is often described as the “silent thief of sight”.

At Ighani Eye Care, we put great emphasis on early detection. Every person over the age of 60 should have a comprehensive eye exam once a year, where we will screen for glaucoma.

There is no cure for glaucoma at this time, but we are able to control and stabilize the condition by keeping eye pressure in a healthy range. This range is a little different for each patient and is dependent on a few factors, including the severity of the condition, corneal thickness, patient age and more.

Dr. Brian Anding

The goal of any glaucoma treatment is to lower eye pressure, preserve your current level of vision and prevent further damage. However, treatment can vary, depending on the type of glaucoma diagnosed, the degree to which the condition has progressed, underlying risk factors and other variables.

In general, prescription medicines (eye drops and oral medications), laser procedures and operative procedures are all utilized in an attempt to preserve vision.

SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty).

SLT is a form of laser surgery that is used to lower intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma. It is used when eye drop medications are not lowering the eye pressure enough or are causing unwanted side effects. It may sometimes be used as an initial treatment in glaucoma.

MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery)

MIGS are designed to lower eye pressure safely with rapid recovery and minimal restrictions. Instead of creating an artificial drain in the eye, they unclog the natural drainage system of the eye, enhancing drainage.

MIGS offers several advantages over traditional surgery. They are minimally invasive, nonpenetrating procedures that do not create a permanent opening in the wall of the eye. Additionally, they can be performed as stand-alone procedures or at the same time as cataract surgery with similar recovery, postoperative drop regimen and restrictions of activity as cataract surgery alone.
